Comment

This is a well-argued article. As I stated recently in the BCS Journal: "The public sector in the UK has historically been built on principles of professionalism and an ethos of cooperation in the service of the public. This ethos fits more comfortably with the open source development process than with the present methods of secret-source commercial development, which recent experience has shown are fundamentally broken in the UK public sector."
