Not all Open Source Software is Free Software, but all Free
Software is Open Source Software. So, the new Open Source requirements
from the Italian Administration will benefit Free Software as well.
The open source revolution in the Italian Public Administration

Great news!
I'm italian, so this is an amazing news for me as an italian citizen.
However, i know italian people. We say "fatta la legge, trovato l'inganno", that means literally "created the law, found the trick". When the article says that "public administration MIGHT use proprietary software but it has to justify it", i read it as "everyone will found a way to use proprietary software by finding excuses to not use free and open source software". Why? Because that's how italian people usually do things. And that is sad and shameful.
I hope someone will care about open source enough to make a statement and a change in italian administration, which is very obsolete (some offices still use Windows XP...) as today.
You've described a common environment with Spain, France, Greece, etc.
including same proverb and including Windows XP.
I suppose other people can identify this in more countries too.

Right. Out of curiosity, I sought for the origin of the proverb...
and of course, it comes from Latin: inventa lege, inventa fraude.
