Di fatto l'Olanda dichiara che il software gratis NON
RICHIEDE GARE e che l'openness di un software può essere considerato un
requisito per l'acquisizione del software!
E se lo facessimo anche noi?
°°°°°°
On March 21 2008 programme office NOiV has released the English version
of the publication called The acquisition of (open-source) software.
This publication details the ways in which governments can acquire
software and the role open-source software and open standards can play
in that process. This publication promotes a clear and sensible choice
of governments with regard to the openness of their software.
The two main conclusions of this publication are:
1. Gratis software does not require tendering. The same is true for
gratis open source software. This conclusions means that there are to
main ways of software acquisition: tendering on one hand and
downloading on the other.
2. Software acquisition has to be focuses on the fulfilment of
requirements. Openness however can be a requirement as well. For
instance, some software applications might require the source code to
be available.
