If not yet mentioned, maybe the "University of Buffalo" case could be of 
some help:

http://orange.math.buffalo.edu/csc/resolution2_april2003_approved.html

Quoting the title:
-------------------------------
RESOLUTION FOR UNIVERSITY SUPPORT OF OPEN SOFTWARE AND STANDARDS
Approved by the Faculty Senate,
University at Buffalo, State University of New York,
April 1, 2003.
-------------------------------

I read it and I think it's _excellent_!

M2C.

Bye,
