> Its our code let's see what we paid for. That is a different petition to the one that has been posted, which states that the reason for open sourcing the code is "so we may help fix any found issues". The "let's see what we paid for" argument is an appeal to the more general proposition that there should be public scrutiny of public money. There already exist mechanisms for accessing taxpayer-funded content held by government (including source code) under FOI and other legislation. Unless there is some inadequacy in the operation of those laws, I think they answer the point.
