Tories pat small biz heads in open source IT procurement pledge
,----[ Quote ]
| Echoing the current Labour government's
| "commitment" to open source and open
| standards, the Tories sang from the same
| hymn book by declaring they would "create a
| level playing field for open source IT in
| government procurement".
|
| [...]
|
| The manifesto added that a Tory government
| would immediately halt planned IT
| procurement projects, to evaulate proposals
| and "ensure that small businesses and open
| source IT providers are not locked out of
| the bidding process".
