Half way down the article she mentions that greens party globally has come to the same positive opinion about free software. I’ve discussed this before – What’s so green about free software? What’s interesting is that this is (I think) the first time a “leader” for a swedish political party (at least in parliament) has promoted free software.

Way to go, Maria Wetterstrand!
