Andreas Tolf Tolfsen translated:
If one were to put constraints on the choice of software to individual
projects,
this could also lead to the individual public entity could not choose
the best
solution. Increased use of free software is important for the
development of
ICT in public sector, but it must be based on the premise that free
software is
the best solution in competition to closed software....
This is a very strange point of view for an entity which calls itself a "Free Software Center". They don't seem to care about the philosophical advantages to free software, nor to the fact that entities which build on proprietary software compromise their infrastructure and places it in the hands of private vendors, but seems to think it's all about technical advantage.
Maybe they should change their name to the "Norwegian Open Source Center".
