Hi Andrew,

maybe you missed this:

The german PP decided to be an "FLOSS pressure group "and demands FLOSS
and open standards for every taxmoney-sponsored organisation and all of
their contents in their political agenda:

Well, the german PP IS an taxmoney-sponsored organisation that takes
hundred of thousands of taxpayer euros.

Some may call it pragmatism, under the current (german) circumstances
for me its just well known hipocrisy.

cheers,
