More than 100 candidates to Italian regional elections support Free Software

,----[ Quote ]
| At least on paper, thanks to CaroCandidato, 
| Free Software may have a voice this year in 
| many of the regional councils assisting the 
| governors. As of March 17th, the 2010 
| edition of the campaign has already 
| enlisted more than 100 candidates from all 
| parties. Citizens visiting the website can 
| easily find, sorted by party or electoral 
| district, which regional candidates have 
| signed the Pact for these elections.

The need for an Open Source license

,----[ Quote ]
| You DO NOT need permission to access it, 
| modify it and/or distribute it. However, 
| depends on the open source license, 
| commercializing it may or may not be 
| restricted.
| 
| Without a defining open source license that 
| the government can slap on each software 
| project, there is no option but to revert back 
| to the old ways of protecting intellectual 
| property.
| 
| The problem is this - the government can claim 
| that the software source code is freely 
| available to the public, but you need 
| permission. Hereâs the twist, there is NO 
| guarantee that permission will be granted.
