India Adopts Comprehensive Open Source Policy
An anonymous reader writes: The Government of India (GOI) has adopted a comprehensive and supportive open source policy that builds on earlier efforts to adopt open standards for procurement. As we've seen in other regions, the adoption of such policies often brings out concerns from some quarters who want to spread 'fear and doubt' about the policy. Red Hat Vice President of Global Public Policy and Government Affairs Mark Bohannon looks at the implications of the policy, as well as how it will fit into India's broader economic development strategy.
Still no comprehensive sanitation policy. India sure has got its priorities right.
They've already repealed that ruling I think.
I doubt they are taking lectures about progress from the USA, though -- why listen to people from a country that attempts to criminalise reporting of animal cruelty and has current serious presidential candidates saying they'd build a wall to stop neighbours getting in, would set the army and the FBI on those seeking or providing abortions (even though it's legal!), thinks less than two dollars per head of population per year is too much to spend on women's healthcare, is trying to weaken pollution restrictions, etc.
The US: only taking steps back.
So I'm going to start getting calls from LINUX telling me my computer is being sending an error?
