It's just a poor translation of the cognate French verb. They're really
just saying they want to kiss you 

Just curious: Since Britain is shortly leaving the EU, has PM Boris' regime
made any similar commitments? As part of the divorce settlement? 

Thank you Weaver.  I had ignored the original email, due to it being
"English Challenged", but you inspired me to click the link and let Google
translate it.

Good article, about the European Commission embracing a "new Open Source
Software Strategy".  Being the European Union is awesome, simply because of
how big it is, of course.  I like their principle, "Think Open".

Nice!

Regarding:

I'm afraid this won't take into account the indirect benefits of the
cost:

There's *spending* $10M on a software provided by a company
headquartered in a country outside the EU, and then there's *investing*
$10M into a software developed within the EU.

While it's not directly related to the difference between proprietary
and Free Software, with Free Software, you can almost always arrange for
the development to be done locally, whereas with proprietary software
it's usually out of the customer's hands.
