eWeek Europe reports that Red Hat (and 17 other vendors) have filed suit against the Swiss government in response to no-bid contracts which have been awarded to Microsoft.

“‘It’s not just Switzerland who have been getting away with this kind of nonsense,’ said Mark Taylor of the UK-based Open Source Consortium, adding that much of the credit for this action should go to the Free Software Foundation Europe, led by Georg Greve.”
