The Netherlands is reported to be joining a growing shift among European countries toward Linux and open source tools. The move adds to a wider trend across the EU of governments reducing dependence on proprietary software vendors, often citing digital sovereignty and cost. Observers see it as another sign that open source is gaining ground in European public administration.
Why now: Governments in Europe are actively rethinking software procurement amid concerns over digital sovereignty and US tech dependence.
