A landmark decision of the Italian Constitutional Court: granting preference to free software is lawful

,----[ Quote ]
| In short, according to the Court, favoring 
| Free Software does not infringe freedom of 
| competition, since software freedom is a 
| general legal feature, and not a technological 
| aspect connected to a specific product or 
| brand. This ruling demonstrates the weakness 
| of the arguments of those who, until now, have 
| opposed the adoption of rules aimed at 
| promoting and favoring Free Software arguing 
| that they conflict with the principle of 
| "technological neutrality".

,----[ Quote ]
| At least on paper, thanks to CaroCandidato,
| Free Software may have a voice this year in
| many of the regional councils assisting the
| governors. As of March 17th, the 2010
| edition of the campaign has already
| enlisted more than 100 candidates from all
| parties. Citizens visiting the website can
| easily find, sorted by party or electoral
| district, which regional candidates have
| signed the Pact for these elections.
