After all the back and forth regarding OSS-First in the UK, their government has mandated a preference for Open Source.

In a section titled “When to use open source”, <https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/making-software/open-source.html> the manual says: “Use open source software in preference to proprietary or closed source alternatives, in particular for operating systems, networking software, web servers, databases and programming languages.”
