Obscurity is not real security

As predicted, none of you got what I was referring to. Although simply doing the search would have got you there.

The EMBAG law stipulates that all public bodies must disclose the source code of software developed by or for them, unless precluded by third-party rights or security concerns.

Also as predicted, this escape hatchet exists for skipping compliance.
