Tja, und ein Blick über den Tellerrand:

"Taiwan to start national plan to push Free Software"
http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/6/3/55433/41738

The government of the Republic of China will start a
"National Open Source Plan" in the Republican Year 92 (2003)
to facilitate the development of Free Software. The plan
will last two years and complete in Rep. Yr. 94 (2005) and
its results will benefit government agencies and
non-government organizations. This will save the government
NT$ 2 billion (about US$ 59 million) and the society NT$ 10
billion (US$ 294 million).

[..]

A government estimation shows that, at the end of
Rep. Yr. 89 (2000), there were 1,230,000 computers at
schools and in the government in Taiwan. If the Windows
license fees for each cost NT $6,000, Microsoft collected
over NT $7 billion. Adding in the cost of application
software (MS Office), the sum would be over NT $10 billion.

Therefore, the National Supercomputer Center is drafting the
"National Open Source Plan".
