| Open Source makes this possible, and allows each developer to take
| pride and credit for his or her part in creating useful software for
| the greater good. This sort of work can be commercially viable,
| too, and consulting and maintenance services have sprung up
| everywhere in the past few years, supporting and developing Open
| Source products, especially for business. No wonder, then, that
| last month the cabinet approved a policy and strategy to implement
| Free and Open Source Software in government.
