This is the conclusion reached by the White Book of Free Software in Spain coordinated by Alberto Abella. This document identifies 200 free software solution providers, 100 user communities and 180 education centers where free software is a daily reality.

The most importat conclusions of The White Book highlight the leading position of Spain in adoption and practice of free software.

Linux market share is still small, partly because the free software companies are most small or medium sized enterprises with limited access to mass media.

The public administration is being the best supporter of free software technology but its adoption is still limited to schools of Extremadura and Andalucía.
