@marleenstikker So no microsoft in use?
@marleenstikker While nominally good news, I do wonder whether this is actually going to result in open-sourcing government systems, or whether it will be concluded that "copyright" is a "third-party right" and therefore nothing from an external vendor (ie. almost all software used) can be open-sourced.
@marleenstikker Has anyone come across information whether this will also apply to public tv/radio services?
This could mean a lot of interesting new toys for low budget AV DIYers like me 😃
