NO GOVERNMENT EDICT ON OPEN SOURCE

      (Source: LinuxWorld.com) Arun Shourie, India's minister for
information technology and communications, says the government
will not back open source to the exclusion of proprietary
software. The government is a key IT-buyer in India, and backers
of open-source software were hoping that the Indian government
would throw its weight behind open source. [IDG News Service]
