Talks about a proposed "public money, public code" campaign, calling for all software developed using public funding to be released under a free code license. The New Zealand government has implemented a soft version of this, in the form of recommendations to government departments to re-use and contribute back to existing free code wherever possible, and to release code developed in-house. These recommendations are formalized in the NZ Government Open Access Licensing - Software Edition ([https://www.ict.govt.nz/guidance-and-resources/open-government/new-zealand-government-open-access-and-licensing-nzgoal-framework/nzgoal-se/ NZGOAL-SE]), a software extension of the [[NZGOAL]] framework for CC licensing of publicly funded data. --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 02:59, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
