== Radical interpretation ==

This seems like a radical interpretation of the text

::The agreement bans government mandates for use of open source software, stating "No Party may require the transfer of, or access to, source code of software owned by a person of another Party, as a condition of providing services related to such software in its territory."[12] The open source word processing application LibreOffice has been deployed by many local governments throughout the EU to save money.[13][14][15][16]

It seems more likely it says that they cannot compel the source code from closed sourced initiative in exchange (quid pro quo) for "providing services related to such software". And this one example, which has source code that is already out (and needs not be compelled) doe not require *four* references.

Source code of software

This part of the text:

"The open source word processing application LibreOffice has been deployed by many local governments throughout the EU to save money"

Cutting costs is unrelated to the rest of the section on open source software. Although some of the links are relevant. I edited the section accordingly. --Rougieux (talk) 14:35, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
