<h1>Example Questions from Germany</h1> |
|
|
|
<p class="question"> |
|
<strong>1.a.</strong>Do you plan to promote the use of Free Software? If so, how will |
|
you do this? |
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p class="question"> |
|
<strong>1.b.</strong>Do you plan to promote the interests of small and medium sized |
|
Free Software companies; and so, how? |
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p class="question"> |
|
<strong>2. </strong>Non-Free Software is only modifiable with the |
|
permission of its owner. This restriction had led to service monopolies and |
|
vendor lock-in in both the public and private sector. Do you plan to act |
|
against existing service monopolies of this nature? |
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p class="question"> |
|
<strong>3.a. </strong>Strict adherence to Open Standards in public sector |
|
ICT enables fairer competition amongst tenderers. Do you agree with the |
|
Free Software Foundation Europe's <a |
|
href="/freesoftware/standards/def.html">Definition of Open Standards</a>? |
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p class="question"> |
|
<strong>3.b. </strong>Will you work to achieve strict adherence to Open Standards in |
|
the public sector? If so, how do you plan to do this? |
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p class="question"> |
|
<strong>4.a. </strong>Is your party planing to promote the usage of Free Software in |
|
state education? |
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p class="question"> |
|
<strong>4.b. </strong>Does your party intend to promote the teaching of transferable |
|
ICT skills, rather than product or vendor specific knowledge? |
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p class="question"> |
|
<strong>5. </strong>Many public sector organisations <a |
|
href="/activities/pdfreaders/buglist.html#DE">advertise non-Free |
|
Software</a> on their websites, such as promotions for 'Adobe Reader'. |
|
What is your opinion on this kind of advertising, and do you have any plans |
|
concerning it? |
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p class="question"> |
|
<strong>6.a. </strong>In Germany software is covered by copyright law and, |
|
like literature, is therefore unpatentable. Nevertheless, patents on |
|
software continue to be granted by patent offices. The technology |
|
monopolies that these patents result in lead to legal uncertainty for |
|
software companies and hamper innovation in all European companies. What |
|
is your position on software patents? |
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p class="question"> |
|
<strong>6.b. </strong>How will you prevent them from threatening the growth of Germany's |
|
economy? |
|
