all public bodies must disclose the source code of software developed by or for them, unless precluded by third-party rights or security concerns

So this effectively changes nothing.

Swiss lemming here. Switzerland already open-sourced multiple projects before, most notably the app to store your COVID test / vaccination status in. It was even officially available on F-Droid. I was very suprised at that point, and I'm happy to see that there are now efforts to make such behavior more default and less edge case, even when there are exceptions.
