Lucas County commissioner candidate Ben Konop wants the county to replace its licensed software with free, open-source programs, claiming that the shift would save taxpayer money and improve the area’s reputation.

[The author of the article should be clued in as to the fact that FOSS is also "licensed" software. The auditor should offer some evidence to back up his claims. He is so far off the mark, it isn't funny. But it does raise the question whether the pro-FOSS candidate has done his homework. It's one thing to make bold claims like that, but another to help people see just how FOSS could work. Our Candidate needs some beef to go with that gravy. - dcparris]
