This is maybe one of the most important discussions we could have today and kudos for the bold contribution. So many existing and future risks and opportunities we face are strongly coupled with digitization and choices on how software is developed and used matter a lot to what sort of world is emerging. This widespread relevance of software is part of the problem: the scope is so wide it spans an enormous range of needs and business models. Given that the financial system itself is becoming almosy fully a digital artifact it is a legitimate question whether e.g., money itself should be "open source"? Whatever one thinks about the cryptobro universe, that proposition cannot be unseen. If money itself is up for redesign (and if you follow the so-called CBDC discussion that is very much the case), what is ultimately our objective? What legally defined organizational structures are available and how do they incentivise delivering on the objective? The other part of the problem is that it by far not just about source code. Actually nobody has any use for code in pure isolation. The value proposition is always somehow coupled with data and code coming to life so to speak by operating on data. Whether open data or private data. Which opens yet another can of worms around privacy, commercial secrecy, copyright, IP etc. My humble punchline is that the open source journey is neither easy nor simple and it will get even messier. But the general principle of "doing well by doing good" is valid, it is what binds us all and the alternative is almost certainly a dystopia.
