Open Source Study Included In US Stimulus Package
,----[ Quote ]
| Buried deep in the details of the US stimulus package is an interesting
| provision that might go a long way toward helping Open Source software break
| into the medical area. It says that the Secretary of Health and Human
| Services should study the availability of open source health technology
| systems (PDF, page 488), compare their TCO against proprietary systems and
| report on what they find no later than Oct 1, 2010. Slashdotters may also be
| interested in the language that starts on page 553 of that PDF to see just
| what the final package says about broadband.
