EARLIER this month we wrote about procurement issues in Romanian authorities, which were later acknowledged and explained by Glyn Moody who now adds:
This is ridiculous - whoever put this together clearly doesn't understand free software. As I noted before, since this system would not be distributed, there is no requirement to release the source code. This means that it would be no different from closed-source software, with no "risk" of code being altered.
Whatever the real reason, the excuses being offered for Romania's bizarre behaviour are simply unacceptable.
