> If all software would be source available tomorrow then this would be a huge win: election machines can be audited, we will know how good (or bad) government software is, I can judge software from Company X before deciding to do business with them, I can fix bugs that are a huge issue for me myself instead of just asking "please fix this bug that's a huge deal for me", etc. etc. After this we can move on further. Note: "Source available" does not mean "source buildable". In fact, "source available" provides nearly nothing except the ability to "see" some source code. Not modify, not use with modifications, not distribute. TBF, "Open Source" also does not directly or always imply those freedoms (see TiVo and its GPLv2 source code you cannot run on TiVo devices); but it and "Free Software" are more commonly associated with these freedoms. "Source available", historically, less so.
