Disclosed source is not the same as open source

Read Original

This article argues that government agencies often mistake 'disclosed source'—merely making code available—for true open source. True open source requires proper licensing and, crucially, fostering a collaborative community where contributions are accepted and managed. It emphasizes that open source is a sustained partnership, not a one-time code release.
