"Many large institutions, especially government agencies, would like to
distribute their software—including the software of the vendors with
whom they contract—as free software. They have a variety of reasons,
ranging from the hope that opening the code will boost its use, all the
way to a mature understanding of the importance of community,
transparency, and freedom. There are special steps institutions can take
to help ensure success, some stemming from best practices performed by
many free-software projects and others specific to large organizations."

Some excellent advice.

Share and enjoy,
