[liberationtech] Public Money, Public Code.

Public Money, Public Code.

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 license. If it is public money, it
should be public code as well.

Code paid by the people should be available to the people!
