Get FOSS-happy, China tells its financial institutions - Use it, contribute to it, respect its licences

The document instructs China's financial sector players to use FOSS whenever they feel it is apposite, to contribute to FOSS projects, and to respect the licences under which such software is published. Financial institutions are also encouraged to collaborate with tech companies, universities and other institutions on FOSS efforts.

Planning for security emergencies though is just as relevant for proprietary as open-source software.
