Mass. errors

The US State of Massachusets has clarified their policy on software procurement.

In evaluating software, the Commonwealth would look at a number of factors including whether it is open source or proprietary software. Among the other factors the Commonwealth will consider are each product's functionality, robustness and cost, he said. When there were open source alternatives to proprietary software that also compare favorably in those other areas, the state would choose those, he said.

Makes sense. Now, the big question has to be if I could work that out, why couldn't CAGW, BSA and others work it out too?
