Colleges enrol more open source software

Silicon.com has a nice 1 page article about increasing usage of free and/or open source software in colleges and Universities. Use of FOSS products is widespread and still growing fast.

The article points out some interesting and probably troubling disconnects between software acquisition policies and reality. It seems that while IT departments are well aware of FOSS products and use them, management and policy makers are not.
