Some years ago a lot of Spanish administrations and companies have done the same, saving a lot of money as the main reason.
Really? I don't think so... There are some exceptions, like the use of Linux on secondary schools (12-18 years old): #Lincat http://linkat.xtec.cat/portal/index.php and others
hopefully more and more will do so, even if they only have saving money as the reason
Which one(s)?
I don't know exactly, it's a lot of years ago. This is a similar article of this thread from 2013 from Spain https://www.genbeta.com/desarrollo/en-la-administracion-publica-de-espana-empiezan-a-brotar-cambios-serios-al-software-libre
From what I read about Germany I think that Spain is much more advanced and less restrictive respect internet and freedom on the net.
