   UK Sets Open Source Procurement Policy
   
        [48]News Posted by [49]michael on Tuesday July 23, @12:17PM
                      from the slowly-but-surely dept.
     An anonymous submitter notes a story in the Register about the UK
    [50]publishing their policy on the use of Open Source software. (Or
      skip straight to the [51]policy itself.) The UK has been moving
       towards this for a while, and while they don't rule out using
     proprietary code, the policy definitely recognizes the benefits of
                                    OSS.
