Talk Title & Summary
Public Money? Public Code!
Why is software that is programmed with taxpayers’ money not released as Free Software? We want legislation requiring that publicly financed
software developed for public sector must 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 all people should be available to all people!
