+<h2>Lesson from Uruguay</h2>
+
+<blockquote><p>
+22 July 2013
+</p></blockquote>
+
+<p>A bill now under consideration in Uruguay showed the Free Software
+Foundation an important point that was missing in our list of
+recommended government policies to promote free software.
+The bill says that when the state develops or contracts for
+development of software, this software must be developable in
+a 100%-free-software environment.</p>
+
+<p>This requirement avoids problems that can really happen. Even if
+the source code of the solution is delivered as free software,
+and can run on a 100%-free-software GNU/Linux system, it could be
+trapped in other ways.</p>
+
+<p>For example, compiling its source code could require a nonfree program.
+Even editing its source code could require a nonfree program. Both
+of these problems can occur when a nonfree IDE is used, and this
+would create additional obstacles to migrating the state to free software.
+It is wise and proper for the law to reject these methods of developing
+computing solutions for the state.</p>
+
+<p>Taking this into consideration, the FSF has updated its recommendations
+for government policies to suggest that contracts require that solutions
+be developable in 100%-free-software environments.
