Why isn’t software funded by taxpayers released as Free Software? 🤔💻

We need legislation 📜 requiring publicly financed software to be #FreeSoftware. If it’s public money 💰, it should be public code! 👨‍💻👩‍💻

Code paid by the people should be available to the people! 🙌 #PublicCode

@fsfe Not all public information is available to the public. Classified information is owned by the public but not available. Would you want the software that runs your tanks and nuclear subs to be freely available?

@crazyeddie @fsfe It's the same as with any other government information: some can be specifically classified if there's a good reason, anything else should be public.
