"the law"?

• ZeroGravitas 16y ago
  Governments often require "standards" in their purchases for very good reasons, like not requiring all citizens to purchase a proprietary solution to interact with them or getting lower prices thanks to competition. If vendors claim to be delivering standards, but aren't really then it's not much different from selling devices or services that don't meet the requirements. Obviously there is a line where incompetence becomes fraud.
