Federal government agencies are adopting free and open source software (FOSS) with increasing zeal, according to a new study undertaken by the Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO).

Two in three (68 percent) of respondents to an AGIMO survey of federal government agencies said they are actively using FOSS.

The report, said an AGIMO spokesperson, shows "strong agency support" for open source -- with most agencies expecting use of such software to increase over the next five years.
