Code.mil is the source for the U.S. Department of Defense's public open source initiative website, an experiment in open sourcing government code. It provides guidance, FAQs, and licensing strategies for open sourcing code written by federal employees and contractors, and serves as a hub for discovering DoD open source projects.
Use cases
- learn how the DoD licenses open source code without copyright
- find guidance for open sourcing government or contractor-written software
- contribute to Department of Defense open source projects
- understand OMB policy M-16-21 for federal source code
- read FAQs about open source software use in government
- find sample contract language requiring open source delivery
When to choose
- you work in government or contracting and need to open source federal code
- you want to contribute to DoD open source projects
- you research government open source policy and licensing
When to avoid
- you need a software library or tool rather than policy documentation
- you need legally binding advice rather than educational guidance
- you want a general-purpose open source program office resource outside the US government context
