@sjvn @sjvn I have seen a lot of posts asserting that and they all leave out a major loophole: doesn’t apply to 3rd party software and has no provision discouraging 3rd party software.

We tried something similar at NASA by agency mandate in the 80s. A lot of creativity went into discovering reasons why a project had to use 3rd party resulting in no discernible increase in OSS.

I hope Switzerland has a better result but without mandates I doubt it will.
