maxinstuff@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Switzerland mandates all software developed for the government be open sourcedEnglish57·1 year agoThis doesn’t seem like a big deal?
The fact the code is open sourced is much less significant than the fact now the Swiss government will need to negotiate complete ownership of any software they commission.
