Code.gov Program

The Federal Source Code Policy (FSCP) called for the establishment of the the Code.gov program office and corresponding technical platform of a website and application programming interface (API).

The Federal Source Code Policy

The Federal Source Code Policy (FSCP) was designed to support reuse and public access to custom-developed federal source code. It requires new custom-developed source code developed specifically by or for the federal government to be made available for sharing and re-use across all Federal agencies. Furthermore, the policy supports publishing open source software (OSS).
