Munich Goes Linux After All

Munich announced that patent concerns will not affect a planned migration to Linux for 14,000 of the city's desktop computers. Although the city had unveiled a plan last year for the move, on August 4 it decided to postpone the program, nicknamed LiMux, citing legal and financial concerns over software patents that it wanted to clarify before proceeding.
Analysts have noted that the hesitation might also have been brought on by political goals and cost issues.
