Munich Delays Linux Conversion

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the slow-and-steady-wins-the-race dept.

It doesn't come easy writes "A short blurb over at The Register reports that Munich has decided to extend the pilot phase of their Linux migration project. One smart move mentioned: Many of their office workers will switch to OpenOffice on Windows first where it is comfortable, easing the transition."

    If Munich decides to move to Linux and next year's new GPL is invoked for upgrades then it means noone from Munich using Linux can use patented software. This is a great risk that they should also consider. Micsosoft on the other hand does not put any such restrictions on its users.
