Norwegian Free Software Center Opposes Government Pro FOSS Policy

[Ciarán O'Riordan]

Possible connection, FWIW:

Bruce Perens also opposes pro-fs government policies:
http://lwn.net/Articles/163077/
"I still think that preference laws are the wrong way to go. [...] I keep
thinking that the end still doesn't justify the means."

(He's stated this position more clearly in other comments, but I can't find
them now.)

And he worked for a year in Norway (2007?) and does/did policy work in
Norway sponsored by the Competence Fund of Western
Norway. (http://perens.com/policy/open-source/ "Sponsorship")
