According to the law of Infogobierno all computer program development, acquisition or implemented in the Venezuelan public power should be free software and open standards, except as expressly provided by law and authorized by the National Commission on Technology information. The law imposes fines and penalties for officials who do not fulfill this mandate. Authorizes the Comptroller General to disable them when purchasing proprietary software without being authorized.
Regardless of laws and public policies, free software gaining ground. Not by decree, but by its quality and benefits perceived by consumers. Linux uses 96% of supercomputers, 35% of Web applications and 28% of mainframes. 36% use Android cell. Free programming languages are increasing their market share. Java: 18.4%; C: 17.1%; C ++: 8.1%; PHP 5.1% and Java Script. 1.4%
They are most popular free languages. This has forced companies proprietary software to enter this business. Today almost all proprietary application software is also developed for Linux. It stands to reason. Companies continue to market preferences.
There are only three relevant brands handlers proprietary database software. FOSS two. The advantage of the latter is that the source code has se- crete and many experts collaborate. Free software developers open their inventions freely.
In all economies the state has a duty to intervene to prevent monopoly control of companies in certain markets. Why keep paying royalties for proprietary software that have developed over 30 years? They are no innovations. Its strengths are that control the market, the prohibition of access to the source code and its economic power.
Are you ready Venezuela’s oil industry to promote development, under free platforms, ERP to replace the SAP ? Why let a software company oligopolistic control our data, not knowing what makes your source code? Does the public banks undertake the development of a Core Banking Open Source?
Many governments of countries with market economies support free software decrees, subsidies and public policy. Germany, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Ecuador, Spain, France, Mexico, Dominican Republic and Venezuela, among others. It is a movement initiated in American universities. He was not born under the influence of political ideologies. It can be considered a new business model that instead of charging for software licenses, charges for support services, development, maintenance and training. Promotes the sovereignty of countries, companies and institutions that adopt it. The source code is available without restriction. Why should we blindly rely on a software company that controls lifelong source code of the program that handles all the state resources, the company or institution?
