Abstract
A number of changes have occurred in the South African FLOSS landscape since the first version of this document was produced in 2002. This revision of the original document extends the discussion of a range of issues, both local and global, that continue to have impact on the progress and potential of FLOSS. These discussions take advantage of the increased research into the FLOSS phenomenon which has occurred over the past two years. The document also indicates the significant progress that has been made since the first version in making FLOSS adoption a priority in South Africa’s public sector.
