  This is a bit useless because it allows not providing the code if there are any “security concerns”

    I mean realistically what did you expect? I don’t think we’ll see a law mandating open source for everything in any country. That would effectively lay open the complete inner workings of all agencies including any intelligence services etc, no?

      Bit useless, since every department can just say they won’t publish the code for security concerns. Obviously I am not saying that intelligence agencies and military should have to open source everything, but a law with an option to ignore it completely is a bit pointless.
