You are bidding for a contract that asks you to release the code, bid accordingly, if you have super secret code then don't bid at all or increase your bid. The hope is the public will get some open source code they can fix in future if there is a need and not have to beg you years later to please fix stuff or add a new feature. As I private person I can offer a programming projects but demand access to the source code , you are free not to bid for my project but I think I am the sane one that wants the code so i am not locked into a corner.
