The Danish public sector spends significant resources on commercial office suite licenses year after year. But what if there was a better way?
Instead of recurring payments to foreign corporations, those same funds could support a tailored solution built specifically for Danish government needs—one that respects data sovereignty, ensures long-term cost predictability, and can be customized for public sector workflows.
By investing in open-source alternatives or developing purpose-built tools, Denmark could create jobs, maintain control over critical infrastructure, and build a solution that serves the public interest rather than shareholder profits.
Denmark's governmental IT agency is spending millions on Microsoft Licenses, even though they would like to become independent.
They entered an agreement for more than 535.390.000 Euro (fire milliarder kroner DKK) in the summer of 2025.
Trods ønske om uafhængighed: Staten binder sig til Microsoft i fem år i ny rekorddyr aftaleMunicipal spending on Microsoft products across Denmark surged from 313 million to 538 million kroner between 2018 and 2023—a 72% increase in just five years.
Copenhagen Municipality narrowly avoided a cloud migration that would have cost over 100 million DKK in additional licensing fees. The city is now exploring open-source alternatives to regain control over costs and data.
While specific budget data for individual Danish universities isn't publicly available, educational institutions worldwide face similar challenges with escalating Microsoft licensing costs.
Universities are increasingly exploring open-source alternatives to redirect funds toward research, teaching, and student services rather than recurring license fees to foreign corporations.
How much does it cost to maintain LibreOffice? Far less than you might think.
For context: The Document Foundation operates LibreOffice—used by approximately 200 million people worldwide—on an annual budget of roughly €1-1.5 million. Compare this to what governments and organizations spend annually on commercial office suite licenses, often paying far more per year than TDF's entire operating budget.
So we could perhaps NOT discuss if LibreOffice is missing Feature X.
With only a small percentage of the current license cost of Microsoft Office, we could ask The Document Foundation to perhaps add Feature X.
It feels strange that public institutions keep funding something they cannot control with millions of EUR, while they could actuallly fund something sustainable.
We could actually have an office suite called DanKontor for real.
Why is software created using taxpayers’ money not released as Free Software?
We want legislation requiring that publicly financed software developed for the public sector be made publicly available under a Free and Open Source Software licence. If it is public money, it should be public code as well. Code paid by the people should be available to the people!
