GDS, a department of the UK government already advocates the use and creation of open source software: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/be-open-and-use-open-source https://www.gov.uk/guidance/be-open-and-use-open-source Including publishing a lot here: https://github.com/alphagov https://github.com/alphagov A lot of the philosophy of their approach on this is around making the code public and inspectable given it was funded by tax payers. Not to say reuse isn't part of it but it is an interesting angle on why some code should be open sourced.
