The document discusses open source, open data, open APIs, and open standards. It provides definitions and history of these concepts. It emphasizes that open source relies on collaborative development through public licenses and repositories. Open data and APIs promote innovation through publicly available data and application programming interfaces. Open standards encourage data exchange and interoperability between systems through established guidelines. The document advocates for following these open principles to encourage transparency, community involvement, and security.

The Right to Re-use!
• It’s not enough to be “Open Source”

• Public Policy!!!
https://opensource.org/licenses
