CALL FOR
TENDERS
Study on the effect on the development of
the Information
Society of European public bodies making
their own software available as open
source
(Deadline: 29/07/2005) The study should investigate the necessary
conditions for the publication of such software. Is all software suitable for
publication or not; are there any legal barriers in the Member States for the
adoption of such a policy and under what licence(s) should the software be
published? With a view to maximizing the potential benefit of publishing the
software, should new public software developments take particular requirements
into account (such as more emphasis on interoperability, standards, design
allowing adaptation to multilingualism, improved documentation etc.)? Would such
a policy contribute to standardization processes (de facto or de jure)? Would
the opportunity for re-use lead to cost-savings, better systems and accelerate
uptake? The study should include case studies. Are there any negative
side-effects (such as unintended interference with the market), and how should
such side-effects be
handled?
