15. Role of Open or Free Software
The Government wishes to encourage the judicious use of open source/free
software that complements/supplements proprietary software, to reduce
the total cost of ownership of IT applications/solutions without
compromising on the immediate and medium term value provided by the
application. The Government welcomes research into the use of open/free
software in the context of education, governance, and for general use at
home, to make IT truly a part of the daily lives of the people of the
State. The Government also encourages projects such as the Simputer that
is low cost, based on open software, and attuned to the needs of the
common man.
What about other states ?
