Does anyone have access to a good study to wave at my representatives about the
city in Germany that switched to FLOSS?
Emphisising the Open Source attitude, I don't think they'd care about the Free
Software attitude.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I know SAP has its faults, but I don't think you can group it so glibly with
Oracle, Microsoft and the like in terms of hostility to open source.
SAP uses a lot of open source in its products and contributes back as well - and
while in early days they developed a lot of proprietary interfaces, have in the
past 5 years or more done a lot to adopt open standards and open up their core
data model with published XML models so that you can interoperate with the core
ERP system from just about anywhere.
For one thing, they bought up the old ADABAS-D database and open-sourced it.
Also, they have never (to my knowledge) gone after any open source projects for
any type of infringements.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
