"ESOP, the Association of Portuguese Companies for open source software,
has filed a complaint at the national competition authority as well as
the European Commission "regarding serious irregularities in the access
to a major e-Procurement platform", the group says in a statement
published on Tuesday.
[...]
Ansol earlier this year built an alternative search engine, called
'Transparency', saying the government's web site search functionality
was broken. "Base originally had a search option, but it would not
actually search through the government expenses listed on the site",
explains Silva Seabra. "When searching for 'Office', the site returned
advertisements for Microsoft Office Server.""
