Best Practices Guide for Digital Commons – Government Relations

Governments, especially via their procurement processes, industrial policy and public service policy should be supporting and promoting the long-term sustainability and security of digital commons such as open source software. This will enable governments to pivot towards increased cost savings, support for ethical initiatives and technological sovereignty in the public sector. The publication of the Digital Commons Policy Council’s guide, Best Practices Guide for Digital Commons – Government Relations, is a significant step in achieving closer cooperation between governments and digital commons projects.
