[CAVO] Definition of "open source software"

[Lawrence Rosen]

Colleagues:

 

The following definition is being proposed for the California Constitution
in a voter initiative to fund the development of open source election
software in this state:

 

"Open source software" means software actually distributed to the public
under software licenses that provide that every licensee is free to make
copies of the software or derivative works thereof, to distribute them
without payment of royalties or other consideration, and to access and use
the complete source code of the software.
