Subject: Economic impact of open source software on innovation and the competitivenessof the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector in the EU
Forward from the GSDI Legal & Economic W.G. regarding EU report on economic impact of open source software on the ICT sector. Since there are numerous open source GIS options available, I thought this might interest some of the list members.
Apologies to any commercial GIS vendors who are members and whose products are not open source. ;>)
Kind regards
Roger
