I thought to pass this information on to folks here, because many of us are staunch advocates of the principles of Open Source. James Corbett of the Corbett Report has published this report, which details how many open source institutions have signed on to the UN Open Source Principles, which discussion begins at ~25 minutes. The first discussion regards crypto, which I assume many here on Hive will also be interested in.
Corbett points out that these institutions aren't open source itself, as a principle, but represent specific softwares, such as are mentioned in the report. The principle of Open Source isn't defined by the UN, nor by any of these softwares, and insofar as they stray from actual sound principles, new software and institutions will arise. This will take time, however, and reduce adoption due to folks seeing these most popular (and formerly actual open source projects) presenting some of the same problems that arise from proprietary software and institutions. It will affect me because I have adopted Linux, and several of the softwares and organization involved in this UN project.
Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.
