    UK.gov tweaks open source policy small print


http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2010/01/27/uk_goverment_open_source_procurements/

The UK government has rejigged its open source and open standards
software procurement policy, following pressure from OSS vendors last
autumn.

Early last year the Cabinet Office revised its rules on public sector
open source software purchases, but many OSS players complained that the
policy amendments didn’t go far enough.
