I get reports from multiple people in France that are saying the same thing. Based on those reports, it look like most WO devs in France are/will drop WO in the next 12 months, and France was one of the biggest WO "market" :-/

Yeah, me too

On the opposite, we are giving up on WO because our clients (French public institutions) want open source solutions.

So doesn't that just require that 'your' solution to their problem be open source? (Sure - here's our source code - it depends on x,y libraries to function .. oh and requires non-proprietory mice too ... and, um, comes at a price... ahh... :) I wouldn't have thought that libraries in and of themselves solve business problems ;-)

Does this 'requirement' preclude french developers from producing software that runs on proprietary hardware or operating systems - that themselves have non-opensource portions of software/hardware/api? Perhaps the fine-print needs a little more teasing out? It seems an all too simplistic interpretation...

Where's the line? Better, what's your marketing angle?
