From the article: 'Lueders sent the letter<http://www.techworld.com/cmsdata/news/7109/FLOSS-letter-ISC.pdf>[PDF] on 10 October to leaders of the Commission's Directorate General for Enterprise and Industry, in response to an EC-commissioned study into the role of open source software in the European economy (referred to by Lueders as Free/Libre/Open Source, or FLOSS). In the letter, he criticised the study as biased and warns that its policy recommendations, if carried out, could derail the European software economy.'" * .. *http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/10/17/201242&from=rss --
