Why is software created using taxpayers’ money not released as Free Software? Code paid by the people should be available to the people!

Free Software gives everybody the right to use, study, share and improve software. This right helps support other fundamental freedoms like freedom of speech, press and privacy.
- Tax Savings – Similar applications don’t have to be programmed from scratch every time.
- Collaboration – Major projects can share expertise and costs.
- Serving the public – Applications paid by the public should be available for everyone.
- Fostering innovation – With transparent processes, others don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
