What government is that?

  I dunno, all of them? Which governments mandate open source software when calling for bids?

    I do not think it should be mandated. But it should be promoted

    (I wasn't trying to make a point.) As far as I know, that's what the initiatives like PMPC¹ are for. I think in Switzerland, a law recently passed that seems to go in that direction² (Open Source should by default but some leniency as far as I can interpret the text). According to this³ OSOR report, something similar happened in Italy in 2019. So, I think we're slowly going in that direction in Europe. ¹: https://download.fsfe.org/campaigns/pmpc/PMPC-Modernising-with-Free-Software.pdf https://download.fsfe.org/campaigns/pmpc/PMPC-Modernising-wi... ²: https://www.admin.ch/gov/fr/accueil/documentation/communiques.msg-id-98828.html https://www.admin.ch/gov/fr/accueil/documentation/communique... ³: https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/inline-files/OSS%20Country%20Intelligence%20Report_IT_0.pdf https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/inline-files...
