Reading through an open tender from Naalakkersuisut/the Government of Greenland, I find this absolute requirement:

"The Agency for Education must have full rights of use and unlimited access to the complete source code, including documentation and dependencies, for the purposes of operation, maintenance, and further development.

There must be no technical or legal restrictions that prevent the system from being continued by another supplier."

It doesn't say in so many words that the software they want must be free software, but ... any company who makes free software can very easily comply with that requirement.

I wish that kind of tender requirements were more common. Of course, it would be even better if they asked directly for free software.
