British Opposition Leader Encourages Open Source

The leader of Britain's Conservative party gave a speech earlier today, in which he advocated the use of open source software in government programs -- to increase compeittion, lower costs, and adopt a modern, decentralized mindset. Is this the beginning of a trend in wealthy countries?

Politicians tend to make all sorts of promises. Typically, they say that they'll reduce taxes and offer more services. Promising to promote open source software doesn't happen quite as often.
