Towards an Open Source Legal Operating System
,----[ Quote ]
| An informed democratic society needs open access to the law, but states'
| attempts to protect copyright interests in their laws are a major roadblock.
| This article urges broader access, analyzes the implications and legal
| arguments for and against copyright in the law, and considers strategies for
| access advocacy.

A new era dawns for open source
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source has some specific advantages for New Zealand and in these
| recessionary times. It provides source code for free that can be modified,
| subject only to the provision these modifications must be made available to
| the public. For New Zealand, with its small market, this means customisation
| to meet regional differences can more easily be undertaken. For example,
| American zip codes can be changed to postal codes; VAT can be changed to GST;
| and numeric dates can be set in the correct order.
