The article, citing a source familiar with the discussion, says that a bill is being discussed that, on the one hand, “decriminalizes” the illegal use of software by foreign companies that have stopped supporting and updating software in Russia, and on the other hand, will launch a mechanism for its compulsory licensing .

As noted in the material, the ministry proposes a mechanism by which Russian companies will be able to transfer payment for the use of software to special accounts on demand of the copyright holder.

Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko said that the Russian transport industry will allocate almost 20 billion rubles for import substitution of software.

Deputy Energy Minister Eduard Sheremetsev also said that the department plans to completely replace the ministry's foreign software with domestic software in 2023.

The same goes for technology.
