We very consciously push not “open source” but “public code” which means that it’s not just open source, but comes with a set of code regulations and code of adoption within the government. It’s either greenfield government code or government vetted code with full software-built materials. For something qualifying as public code, it can receive public infrastructure budget in Taiwan, which is a new plan starting this year. It used the same pocket of money as highways and bridges and so on, which means it’s both more plentiful and also that people feel it’s okay to invest more upfront.
