Sorry if this is old news but i've just received a letter from Baroness Andrews, DCLG regarding the software output of the Timely Information to Citizens pilot projects.
"Your constituent is keen that new software tools developed as a result of these pilot projects should be released as open source, so that other authorities can also use them without charge. The Government supports this principle and, while ownership and intellectual property rights of any such software will usually remain with the individual local authorities, most of those concerned have already made a commitment to make thse tools available as open source software, of for use by their parent organisations. My officials are working to secure the commitment of the remaining authourities to this principle wherever possible." Rather good news, i'll be expecting some google.code.uk.gov/svn repository immediately :D Andrew Bailey _______________________________________________ Mailing list [email protected] Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public
