      And all tax funded tech should be open source.

          Sounds good in principle but realistically i can’t see it happening because there will be disputes about how much each state contributes, government politics will be brought into it, and I guess they’ll be expectations of some form of ownership and exclusions. Sounds like a nightmare and a hindrance for a project.
