Switzerland mandates all software developed for the government be open sourced
(joinup.ec.europa.eu)
If it's free and open source and it's also software, it can be discussed here. Subcommunity of Technology.
This community's icon was made by Aaron Schneider, under the CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
The law says this:
As far as possible and expedient, internationally established licenses are to be used.
That sounds like they're not mandating specific licenses, but the GPL is a reasonable choice
The only problem is that there are a number of licenses that purport to be open source, but which don't meet established definitions of the term. The license for Grayjay comes to mind. I'd hope that they blacklist certain licenses like that, rather than enforcing a specific one.
Huh, I hadn't heard about this. I hope Rossman doesn't think he's above criticism.
