But if I'm not mistaken, I think the bill allows the use of proprietary software if no FOSS is available. Is this correct, guys?
It should, or else, its a bug ;) If there is one thing I would like to be imposed in government, that would be the mandatory use of open file formats irregardless of platform. That way, even proprietary software companies can still join the ball game and have market forces decide what platform becomes ubiquitous in the future. Wishful thinking? Perhaps, but a level playing field for all participants is always favorable to the market.
