IT Units Encouraged To Adopt Open-Source Risk-Management Program: Page 2 of 2

Government Open Code Collaborative this week plans to issue a white paper encouraging IT departments to adopt a risk-management program around open source.
September 29, 2004

The collaborative encourages use of any combination of open-source and proprietary software from its repository. Public entities that download proprietary software from the repository must license that software under the developer's terms. Says Quinn, "We're trying to create a continuing, ever-widening circle of innovation and collaboration not just predicated on open source."
