@misk What could maybe work: it should be made law, that 1% (or 10%) of all license cost paid by governmental organizations, must go into open source development, or services. The organization could freely choice, into what, and what it wants to get back.

@misk @not_IO Normally it silently fails on the wall of stupidity, and on the silent, cooperative undermining of the local microsoft activists in all departments. You can be sure, they do not want to learn "yet another system", they want to retire as a windows sysadm. And they work as a workplace mafia.

Sadly I can not see any good in this direction. Hope I see it badly!
