Ordnance survey are using microsoft silverlight which is not compatible with the linux operating system .. Is this actually a breach of anti competative legislation and is this the kind of thing that a govermnment agency should be indulging in.

As far as I am aware the government has "standing orders" to use open standards and open data formats where ever possible. It could be argued that html5 is an open standard while siverlight is NOT.
