When should excluding open source be illegal?
,----[ Quote ]
| Last week Laurent Bounin of Savoir Faire
| Linux in Quebec wrote in with good news.
|
| A Canadian court ruled the provincial
| government broke the law in 2006 when it
| upgraded Windows on 800 workstations and
| excluded open source from the bid.

Did Canada Just Rule In Favor of Open Source?
,----[ Quote ]
| In recent years, numerous governments and
| government entities around the world have
| issued mandates regarding increased adoption
| of open source software. We've written about
| the trend from numerous angles, but one of
| the more interesting spins on this trend has
| just occurred, as reported by Savoir-faire
| Linux. A Canadian court ruled that Quebec
| broke the law when it migrated 800
| workstations to Microsoft software without
| performing a "serious and documented search"
| for alternatives.

The same should be done to those who exclude Linux.
