Switzerland has enacted the "Federal Law on the Use of Electronic Means for the Fulfilment of Governmental Tasks" (EMBAG), establishing a mandatory requirement for open source software within public sector bodies.
I get what you mean. But there are a few independent organisations in Switzerland that regularly challenge these kind of bogus claims and also win, and so far multiple projects like the Covid vaccination app or the contact tracing apps for example are open source. So, it’s definitely not pointless :)
Oh ok. Thanks for clearing it up. I am not swiss, didn’t know they actually had systems in place to avoid this. If this was implemented here in Australia, they would never check the reason for keeping it closed and nothing would happen.
