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. +(See <a href="/philosophy/government-free-software.html"> +http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/government-free-software.html</a>.)</p> + +</div><!-- for id="content", starts in the include above --> +<!--#include virtual="/server/footer.html" --> +<div id="footer"> +<div class="unprintable"> + +<p>Please send general FSF & GNU inquiries to +<a href="mailto:gnu@gnu.org"><gnu@gnu.org></a>. +There are also <a href="/contact/">other ways to contact</a> +the FSF.
