Contracting for a full product when there is a free version available that will do the job is a subsidy.

No it's not, it's buying a product produced by free enterprise, not replacing free enterprise with government produced products like socialists like to do.

Of course you're still parroting Stallman with every post of yours. You call him a kook, but then march along in perfect lockstep.

Ah, I see where you're going. So it doesn't matter if the government saves your tax dollars, only that the contractors get their share of the pie. How about if the government hires a contractor to modify some open source software to suit its needs? But that's a stupid distinction where it concerns our tax dollars, as either they pay a contractor or pay employees, either way the money gets spent.

Really? How? Shall I show you the posts confirming you a liar now, or shall I wait while you scramble for evidence to back up your assertion?
