Taiwan opens door to open source
Taiwan is turning its back on software from the likes of Microsoft to develop its own open-source project, according to a recent report. The Taiwanese government plans to start an open-source project as early as next year that could save it as much as $295 million in royalty payments to Microsoft, according to a report from Taiwan's Central News Agency. Open-source software such as the Linux operating system may be freely modified and redistributed without the legal and financial constraints of proprietary software from Microsoft, Oracle and others.
