Nope, not Germany. The city of Munich, and it was rolled back because a politician took Microsoft bribes and drank the Microsoft snake oil.

National governments should be harder to bribe than local ones, at least. Also harder to get them to adopt it in the first place though.

Should be, but I am afraid that our system encourages corrupt people to seek positions of power.

If it’s done EU wide, it’ll take a lot more than a corrupt politician to reverse it
