BSA throws sinophobia at the EIF
According to Euractiv the Business Software Alliance BSA is "worried that the pending European Interoperability Framework (EIF) will give technologies that have open specifications an advantage in public sector bids."
How dare they! It seems difficult to defend private patent toll gates for public services and countervene the Digital Standards Organisation call for an openness preference, so the argument is completely unrelated sinophobia:
"The EIF contains "worrying echoes of Chinese policy," Francisco Mingorance from the BSA told EurActiv."
