At the moment it's "available within collaborations". My former supervisor has had some bad experiences with people using his open-sourced software without acknowledgement etc., which is of course not quite ideal if you actually want to build a career in academia for yourself. Monetisation is not really an option.
My toolkit is maybe a bit non-standard in that it has attracted a few external collaborators using it as well and I like to think I have taken better care of upholding coding standards, documentation etc.
Normally software in my field is kept within a group and dies after one or two PhD students have left.
- fghtr 7y agoThis is a very sad state of affairs, therefore I would like to bring your attention to a petition towards open sourcing all scientific (and generally tax-paid) software: https://publiccode.eu https://publiccode.eu
- cosmodisk 7y agoThis is a great initiative.It should not be limited to software: research papers, databases and many other things that are currently either not available at all or are behind pay walls should be released.
- mariushn 7y agoFor research papers, there's also this open access initiative which is gaining support: https://www.coalition-s.org/ https://www.coalition-s.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_S https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_S

- basementcat 7y agoDoes this call for avionics software for the F-22 (and similar taxpayer funded software) to be open sourced?
- fghtr 7y agoThere should be definitely some exceptions from this legislation as usually.
