Free Software has many advantages against propietary software in many areas. However, when we talk about the government, this goes soon beyond convenience - It is necessary that, if a government dependency hires or carries a given development, it should demand that the license it is made on is free and it is built over a free infrastructure. I gave this talk in Mexico city's Government's Encuentro de Informática de Otoño 2003, explaining the reasons for these demenads.

Resumen: 

Si bien en muchas áreas el software libre presenta amplias ventajas frente al software propietario, en el gobierno esto deja de ser simple cuestión de conveniencia - Es indispensable que, si una dependencia de gobierno va a contratar un desarrollo o llevarlo a cabo, exija que sea con licencia libre y sobre una infraestructura libre. Esta plática, que presenté en el Encuentro de Informática de Otoño 2003 del Gobierno del Distrito Federal, explica las razones.
