A recent article in the Guardian “CESG asserts security of open source software” contains the following:
[A Cabinet Office official] said that simply considering open source alternatives helps improve competition, and mentioned that he encouraged a department to pilot open source LibreOffice as an alternative to upgrading its Microsoft software. This led to Microsoft providing the new software for free.
We’re a bit surprised about that, so we’ve asked for more information.
