History
  • The last part of the first paragraph is uncited, and there is an unaddressed request for clarification on which country's copyright law is being referred to.
  • "While some software might always be free, there would be a growing amount of software that was for sale only." This demonstrates the same confusion about what "free" means in this context as the free speech vs. free beer comment attempted to address.
  • The second paragraph is largely uncited.
  • The penultimate paragraph is uncited.
Adoption by governments
  • This section is very choppy, with lots of very short paragraphs. It needs to be organised thematically, for instance, which governments have adopted Linux (of whatever flavour), other open-source software like OpenOffice, or perhaps categorise by office applications vs non, such as Apache and MySql, neither of which are mentioned strangely.
References
  • There are five dead links.[1]
