"Why is software created using taxpayers’ money not released as Free Software?
We want legislation requiring that publicly financed software developed for the public sector be made publicly available under a Free and Open Source Software licence. If it is public money, it should be public code as well.
Code paid by the people should be available to the people!"

How can learning functional programming make me a more prepared programmer?
Functional languages have a surprising tendency to predict the future of more mainstream languages. Java brought garbage collection into the mainstream in 1995; Lisp had it in 1958. Java didn't have generics until version 5 in 2004; the ML family had it in 1990. First-class functions and type inference have been incorporated into mainstream languages like Java, C#, and C++ over the last 10 years, long after functional languages introduced them. By studying functional programming, you get a taste of what might be coming down the pipe next.
