Open Source, meet Digital Public Goods

In the last episode, we discussed ways open source licenses for software can unlock digital cooperation. In this episode, Sarah and Heath explore how that might be able to happen. Lucy Harris (Digital Public Goods Alliance), Bernhard Kowatsch (World Food Program Innovation Accelerator), and Max Mehl (Free Software Foundation Europe’s Public Code program) weigh in on how this concept helps and challenges innovation startups, share how one can apply the “open principle” to their ideas, and set clear definitions and checklists for how to better achieve the Sustainable Development Goals through public goods and open source.
