Hi Heiki,
This is a good idea: also in my opinion there is a need to "relaunch" this campaign and extend it.

public per se, but are socially important, like parties. We can simply make the case that recommending FS would be more beneficial to the citizenry. We have to change our argumentation because such organisations are not tasked with ensuring the liberty of the people.
I suggest we include non profit organisations in general, and not just parties, to this category. The ratio is: if the state have to respond to taxpayers, non profit organisations have to respond to their donors and to their constituents, so the neutrality and the ethical integrity requested by taxpayers to the State also apply to NPOs, IMHO (this is also the reason why NPOs, like Public Administrations, should use only Free Software).
Best,
