The report "Open Source Software: Perspectives for Development" was
released at the infoDev Symposium, held in conjunction with the World
Summit on an Information Society in Geneva (Dec.). This effort was
commissioned by infoDev /World Bank.

The report intends to assist decision makers, globally, in better
understanding Open Source software when assessing this technology
option. Presented are initiatives by governments around the world, a
selection of private sector uses of Open Source, support by commercial
technology providers, a set of case studies in developing countries,
along with a brief status of the legal landscape.
