If Software Is Funded from a Public Source, Its Code Should Be Open Source

If we pay for it, we should be able to use it. Perhaps because many free software coders have been outsiders
and rebels, less attention is paid to the use of open source in
government departments than in other contexts. It's
unfortunate that the most famous attempt to convert a government
IT system from proprietary code to open source—the city of
Munich—proved such a difficult experience. Although last year saw a
decision to move back to Windows, that seems to be more
a failure of IT management, than of the code itself.
