Ok, let's try getting everybody back to the table.
An open source bill will only be helpful if it does any of these things:
1. Mandates -- seems to be whole lot of disagreement on this one
2. Favors -- disagreements too, but likely
3. Promotes -- probable and doesn't seem to step on as many toes.
Of course, there's no point to an open source bill if it doesn't
contain any of the above.
Question, will PLUG issue a single recommendation? Emphasis on
"recommendation" though. Last time I looked at the PLUG website, this
issue seems to be in line with PLUG's advocacy.
I think it would be hard to get a single recommendation. The most
important thing is put something into law so that sometime in the
future all software needs by anybody in the philippines is available
on the net by download for free.
