Progress and trends in the national open source policies
summary
A new OSOR qualitative analysis covers 15 countries and synthesizes over 40 country reports to show a 15‑year shift from top‑down mandates to collaborative, ecosystem‑based strategies. It names three concrete drivers—digital sovereignty, transparency, and crisis‑driven response—and documents tangible moves: national creation of Open Source Programme Offices, Germany’s sovereign‑tech initiatives, the Ukraine DI open‑source digital identity, and the Netherlands’ open unless / Open Government Act, noting reuse, resource‑pooling and rising OSPO uptake.
