Open Source Software
- Question
- What guidance his Department provides to other Departments on the use of open source software.
- Answer
-
The Government's policy is to use open source when it gives the best value for money. We are taking positive action to ensure that Departments and our IT suppliers do that. We published our new action plan on 24 February, including guidance on specific actions for Departments. The Chief Information Officer Council is driving the implementation.
