Press Release. October 26, 2020.
The European Commission released it's Free Software strategy for the 2020 – 2023 time period. Apart from a few reminders of how important free software has become, it lists few concrete objectives, and we are far from an actual priority to free software. The main measure it outlines: the creation of an "Open Source Programme Office" within DG DIGIT (Directorate-General for Informatics), but without going into any details regarding either the budget or manpower to be allocated to the office.
