[10:33] schestowitzThere has been a lot of news about the European Commission (EC) deciding to encourage open source software.
[10:33] schestowitzSome people have been confused and associated the announcement with the Public Money, Public Code campaign from FSFE. This confusion is dangerous as it allows FSFE to profit from work done by other people. If people don't understand the real reasons for the EC's decision then it will be harder to sustain the open source strategy or repeat this outcome in other public bodies.
