I love the ISC flacks' comments... I wonder why they even care so much about what licence government software is released under.

And can somebody explain to me the logic behind how releasing software under a FOSS licence implies that this 'will force public-sector bodies into using software that is not appropriate for them"? Aren't they already using said software they've developed, regardless of the licence?
