A software license often limits its use to the first "owner" or user. Court procedures in 2012 led to a remarkable modern view by judges. These views may hold for other data, such as music and e-books from download stores, as well. Publishers, do sleep on.
NewtOnICT is about new things on ICT business and government policy. It also refers to a newt (one of my favorite animals, not to be confused with a nerd) and to Isaac Newton, the man who proved God to be unnecessary.

The Centre of the Universe (link)
The early Greeks wrote gnothi seauton (γνῶθι σεαυτόν), “Know Thyself” on the walls of the Temple of Delphi, thousands of years ago. Cogito ergo sum. I think therefore I am. A thought by René Descartes as he wrote in his Principia Philosophiae (1644). In short it captures the concept that the only thing I really know, the only thing I can be sure of is me, myself and I.

SME in the Deep-freeze: Small and Medium sized Enterprises left out in the Cold
Every government has
the obligation to take care spending public funds. For that reason
regional, national and even international rules have been set in
place. You're not allowed to exclude providers or suppliers nor to
promote them without good cause. You are supposed not to gain from an
assignment or order (read bribery). Unfair competitive advantages
(specific product or brand requests) nor between company agreements
(cartel) are allowed. The procurement must be transparent and all
information must be publicly available. And anyone selected for
providing the goods or services must be a respectful and trusted
supplier. And, we're economic: spending should be minimal.
