  It would be nice to redirect a part of that money to support the development of used software. Thunderbird for example is constantly at risk of being shut down.

    Yup. And MS had to bribe the city of Munich with moving their German HQ there to make them switch back.

  That’s 188k euro that can be used to improve the quality of open source software.

  I think the Netherlands did this a couple of years ago?

  ambitious plan

  Good, good, but I guess it is only a plan to negotiate for lower prices.

  But if they actually deliver without going back… 😍
