I can’t upvote b/c the headline is wrong. But it’s a good story.

Nothing in that article says that Munich is switching back to anything linux based. It only says that Munich stands behind the “Public Money - public code” paradigm that started in Italy. This simply means that if Munich writes any code itself, then it will be open source (and it need not run on linux). This principle is meant to prevent a government from directly developing closed source software. Munich is still free to use public money to buy existing closed-source COTS software, and Munich will likely continue with its commitment to Microsoft.

If Munich were to switch back to Ubuntu, this would be much bigger news.
