Green Euro MP supports call for better access to open source software

,----[ Quote ]
| European citizens have the right to freely access documents and information 
| from the institutions which represent them, and it is about time that the use 
| of open source software became more widespread  
| 
| Open source software (1) should be more widely available in order to help 
| reduce the 'digital divide', according to Dr Caroline Lucas, Green MEP for 
| the South East.  
| 
| Dr Lucas has added her signature to a written declaration in the European 
| Parliament - like an Early Day Motion (EDM) in the House of Commons - 
| recognising the growing disparities in access to information and 
| communication technologies throughout the European Union, and calling for 
| increased use of open source technology.
