    If it’s funded with public money, it should be public code.

    That means guaranteeing the 4 freedoms:
    🔓 Use the code
    🔍 Study how it works
    ✏️ Modify it
    🔁 Share it

    Do you agree?
    ✍️ Sign the open letter
    📢 Share it with your network
    🏛️ Call on decision-makers to invest in public code

      @fsfe This should be so uncontroversial, yet the system is so broken.
      In our own experience as a for profit organisation willing to release as free and open source the results of (partially) public funded projects we are held back mainly by public research institutions.

        @fsfe I'd even prefer: if it's public code it has to be founded by public money

          @fsfe I boosted this then remembered that I have participated in many coding projects using public funds from my university. Most flopped.
