"…we were so confident of the safety & necessity of open source…the Covid Contact Tracing app was open sourced the minute it was available to the public…a nationally mandated app, installed on millions of phones, subject to intense scrutiny from hostile powers…despite publishing the code/architecture/documentation: zero security incidents.

…this new guidance is in direct contradiction to the UK's Tech Code of Practice point 3 "Be open and use open source""

This is just basic #GovIT protecting from the enemy within basic CorpIT type decisions stuff anyways.

U.S. Senate Commerce Committee and U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee introduce the Source Code Harmonization And Reuse in Information Technology (SHARE IT) Act, bipartisan legislation that requires government agencies to share custom-developed source code with each other—thereby avoiding duplicative government contracts to build software.
