Daniel, This is outrageous.
Ok then, let's play their game. 1. How long is the Microsoft & Maltese Government agreement binding for? 2. Is the Maltese Government bound to use Microsoft software only in certain departments? If so, which software? Which departments? 3. Does any part of the agreement effect school syllabi? If so, how? 4. Explicitly, according to the agreement, is the Government barred from using open-source software and Microsoft-alternatives in ANY way? If so, how. 5. Which entity within the Maltese Government has co-signed the agreement with MIcrosoft? 6. Who is our government contact point regarding the agreement? Please also tell me who you contacted as I'll take this up personally.
