[FACIL] Les É.U. ont annoncé une politique reliée aux logiciels libres (anglais)

[gabriel.cossette at gmail.com]

"We’re releasing the Federal Source Code policy to support improved access  
to custom-developed Federal source code. The policy, which incorporates  
feedback received during the public comment period, requires new  
custom-developed source code developed specifically by or for the Federal  
Government to be made available for sharing and re-use across all Federal  
agencies. It also includes a pilot program that will require Federal  
agencies to release at least a portion of new custom-developed Federal  
source code to the public and support agencies in going beyond that minimum  
requirement.
[…]
By making source code available for sharing and re-use across Federal  
agencies, we can avoid duplicative custom software purchases and promote  
innovation and collaboration across Federal agencies. By opening more of  
our code to the brightest minds inside and outside of government, we can  
enable them to work together to ensure that the code is reliable and  
effective in furthering our national objectives. And we can do all of this  
while remaining consistent with the Federal Government’s long-standing  
policy of technology neutrality, through which we seek to ensure that  
Federal investments in IT are merit-based, improve the performance of our  
government, and create value for the American people.

As agencies across the Federal Government take steps to improve access to  
their source code, the amount of available Federal open source software  
will grow. In the coming months, we will launch a new website – Code.gov –  
so that our nation can continue to unlock the tremendous potential of the  
Federal Government’s software.

This is, after all, the People’s code. Explore it. Learn from it. Improve  
it. Use it to propel America’s next breakthrough in innovation."

Et une belle citation pour compléter l'annonce :

“If we can reconceive of our government so that the interactions and the  
interplay between private sector, nonprofits, and government are opened up,  
and we use technology, data, social media in order to join forces around  
problems, then there’s no problem that we face in this country that is not  
soluble."
President Barack Obama, March 11, 2016
