Dutch government formation: open letter on #FreeSoftware and Public Money? Public Code!
The Netherlands is becoming increasingly dependent on a digital infrastructure that is dominated by just a small number of monopolistic companies.
The consequent security risk is recognised by the Dutch Cyber Security Council.
The FSFE calls on the Dutch government to stand firm and get a grip on their digital security & autonomy by adhering to #OpenStandards and #FreeSoftware, in line with their earlier commitment to use Free Software by Default. #PublicCode
