"Software Choice" Campaigns Against Open Source

Verizon Guy writes: "[1]News.com is reporting that a group
called [2]The Initiative for Software Choice, led by the
[3]CompTIA, but backed primarily by Microsoft and Intel, is
lobbying against Open Source-only laws in for example, the
State of California government and the government of Peru.
While their goals don't specifically mention open source,
they do mention that publicly-funded research should steer
clear of licenses such as the [4]GPL. Interesting read."
