Open Source in Politics?

Posted by Cliff on from the a-gnu-platform dept.

tetraminoe asks: "Spread Firefox has a story about a student at the University of Florida running for student government promising to promote open source on campus. His platform includes expanding F/OSS on campus, using open file formats, etc. Is this the first time 'free culture' has become an electoral issue? Has anyone else made open source an issue at their university?"

    Well, please cast your vote for me. I'm running on the "My opponent is stupid and so are all of his supporters".

    Why yes, I am a Democrat. Why do you ask?
