Ben Barber here again
and i am sick that no-one makes a single mention of my dad, who is the person who wrote the bill in the first place.i am proud of him and i want his name to be recognized. he unlike many open source users actually goes out nad furthers the movement. not only about this bill the HE wrote, but all of the open source work he does for local schools. and i havent found a single mention about him here.
bless his heart, he is one of the few people who doesnt just complain and wish things were diffrent. but he actually goes out and helps the community. he is my hero, and should be a hero to every open source user.
I am Ben Barber(aka Ken Barber's Son) the reason why he diddmt decide to make it go so far, is because
1. forcing the government to to use open source would be just as bad as some of the things that M$ does. but instead of forcing people to use m$ products we would be forcing open source.
2. a bill fasioned like that would less likely to pass.
3. there can always be admemndments made to the law. so if in the future someone wants to extend it, we can do that.
