 @BioSchweiz @webmink @maemst from reading the german language link (2 clicks in) this is about digital sustainability: an application that is developed for a government agency (city, federal etc...) must be OSS so that it can be reused, maintained, repaired and improved (by the govn) without license restrictions. OGD (data) is also open, except if personal data. But purchased MS software is not bespoke. Maintenance, upgrades, and longevity are provided by the supplier. @BioSchweiz Not true for Bavaria, check https://www.bycs.de/uebersicht-und-funktionen/cloudspeicher/index.html |

Yes, I agree.
However, those are not software developed for them and that's why it's a "loophole".
I would prefer if we aimed Open first rather than closed first too.. But here we are.
Plus most of our blue collars are stuck on .NET 3.5 and Java 4 era.. Hopefully this will show to everyone how bad the situation is on the custom software side and at least we will get something better on that front.
But I won't hold my horses... It's going to take ages for that.
