Government Users Start Looking Under Linux Hood
,----[ Quote ]
| If you are a local government IT official in the U.S. today, it’s likely
| easier for you to pick up a phone and get easy, quick answers from
| proprietary software vendors to find technology products to fill your needs,
| rather than having to manually sort through the sometimes fragmented world of
| open source projects to find a good fit.

Opinion: Ask Not What Linux Can Do for You
,----[ Quote ]
| Thanks to Canonical and its success with popularizing Ubuntu Linux, there has
| been an astonishing influx of new Linux users. This is one of those good
| news -- bad news scenarios; the growth is wonderful, but it also brings a
| growth in user demands, and a carryover of bad habits from the closed,
| proprietary software world. The core values of Free Software, which is not
| the same as Open Source software, are Richard Stallman's famous Four
| Freedoms:
|
| * The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
| * The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs
| (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
| * The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
| (freedom 2).
| * The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to
| the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to
| the source code is a precondition for this.
