deadline of April 2008 for its agencies to start using open-source
software -- freely distributed programs that anyone can modify -- the
Netherlands Economic Affairs Ministry said Thursday.

Government organizations will still be able to use proprietary
software and formats but will have to justify it under the new policy,
ministry spokesman Edwin van Scherrenburg said.
Van Scherrenburg said the plan was approved unanimously at a meeting
of two parliamentary commissions on Wednesday.
