of formulating their FOSS policies. This particular primer surveys the
motivations of other countries in implementing FOSS, summarizes the
steps involved in formulating a policy, lists some possible strategies
to use in implementing the policy and finally touches on cross-sectoral
issues unique to FOSS policies. Its target audience are the
policy-makers who set national policies and their advisers.
