"Increasingly, the best software tool for a given job is likely to be the FOSS alternative. Moreover, choosing a FOSS product — and especially one that fully implements open standards — will better protect the procuring agency from vendor lock-in. It will also facilitate an ongoing high degree of competitive bidding for supporting services throughout the useful lifetime of a product, and provide government IT managers with real-time time access to security and other bug fixes as well."
