Canadian Federal government looking at free software

Canadian Federal government puts out a call for information on free software

All I can say is... it's about freaking time!  I work in the Canadian Government and sometimes I just wish I could put some sense into people.  We even have an aversion to using free stuff that Microsoft provides (picture resizer PowerToy for XP).  I would rather use ScreenShotCaptor instead of "another licensed" program we are supposed to use because it works, it's simple and it does what it does well without trying to be an all-emcompassing bloated coding mess.

Ha, ha - thanks for the link! I was *just* browsing the online news outlets - CBC included - and missed that little nugget

Excellent find, Mooseman. Far more informative than I thought it would be. Thanks.

Canada always was the wisest North American nation.   

Thanks!
