| Netherlands, thanks to a recent law there that requires open source software
| in all departments of the national government. In France, any product for IT
| use must have an open source alternative in the decision-making process.
|
| Linux and open source software are alive and growing as the preferred
| computing platform in many countries. Linux is increasingly present in U.S.
| government agencies, such as the Office of Management and Budget and the
| Department of Defense.
