What If Governments Ran on Open-Source Software?
Transparent governance, zero vendor lock-in, community-audited systems. The case for making public infrastructure truly public.

The argument is not merely ideological — open-source government software would reduce corruption, enable civic participation, and cut billions in licensing costs. Estonia has shown what digital governance can look like. The question is why the rest of the world has not followed.
