The Israeli government chooses open source

After the US, the UK and France, the government of Israel has announced its shift to open source. The Israeli government will be making its software code available to members of the public.

Post the shift to open source, the public can use and modify the software, point out vulnerabilities and propose improvements. It will also be available for use in development apps.

Open sourcing the code will allow taxpayers to access the software and even use it in their personal projects. Moreover, it will enhance the security as researchers will be able to perform vulnerability checks with ease.
