# Public Money - Public Code! - Panel at Nextcloud Conference 2019

Why is software that is programmed with taxpayers’ money not released as Free Software? We want legislation requiring that publicy financed software developed for public sector must be made publicly available under a Free and Open Source Software licence. If it is public money, it should be public code as well. Code paid by all people should be available to all people!

In this panel we talk about the campaign and point out the advantages to support “Public Money, Public Code!”

Jos Poortvliet, Tim Schrock, Katharina Meyer und Alexander Sander
