On April 10, 2008, President Rafael Correa Delgado has signed Decree 1014 by
ordering with absolute precision that the software used by public
administrations in the country is free software (and implicitly based on
open standards). The decision of the executive coincides with the renewal of
the cessation of military and police leadership of the country under
suspicion of spying for foreign powers. The decree is a spirit achieve
technological sovereignty of Ecuador and the momentum of its economy
computing.
