The DNC's attempts at legislating requirements for our various government offices to use only open source software. Thankfully none have so far passed (that I know of), and were at least watered down by republicans to say they only must consider open source, but are not required by law to use it. But even requiring them to consider it, in every instance of software deployment, is poor legislation in my opinion.
Do you have any bill #'s? The only thing I know of in this are, in the USA at least, are proposals that would require the government to use only fully docummented file formats.
