Sounds good.   Hopefully adds more weight to any argument for the take
up of free software.

There is an ComputerWeekly article about Free Software in the Italian
public administration:
http://www.computerweekly.com/news/4500256578/Free-software-gains-ground
- -in-the-Italian-public-administration

At the end there is a quote by Carlo:

  âThere is no excuse. All public administrations must opt for free
  software or re-use whenever possible,â said Carlo Piana, Free Software
  Foundation Europeâs general counsel, who participated in the committee
  that advised on the guideline.

  âNow free software and re-use are the norm, proprietary software the
  exception. This is the most advanced affirmative action in Europe so
  far. Iâm so proud that Italy leads the way, for once,â he added.

Regards,
Matthias
