“But our expectations need to change, too – especially our view of what constitutes a compromising or embarrassing digital trail. Maybe this high degree of openness will lead, not to a lot of red-faced adults in 10-20 years, but a lot less hypocrisy much sooner.”

Peter Nowak wrote a CBC article yesterday about Quebec being sued for not accepting software contract bids:
“Government buyers are using an exception in provincial law that allows them to buy directly from a proprietary vendor when there are no options available, but Facil said that loophole is being abused…”
The article has the tantalizing title of “Quebec government sued for buying Microsoft software“, but the heart of the matter is that Quebec is being sued for not accepting other bids. This policy is an anti-competitive business practice, and by effect anti- open source.
