Dutch government to remove legal barriers to sharing code as open source
The Dutch government plans to remove legal roadblocks to allow public services to publish the source code of their ICT solutions.

The proposal has not yet been submitted to the Dutch parliament, but the changes are anticipated in NL DIGIbeter, a brochure detailing the country’s digital agenda that was published in August. This week, a spokesperson for the Interior Ministry referred to the brochure when asked about pending changes to the rules of conduct.
