Information, not just source code, also benefits from being made open. For example, back in 2016, a UK government blog on accessibility shared a series of posters on designing for accessibility [1]. Many readers of the blog wanted to translate the posters. They were posted on GitHub and have been translated into Japanese, Estonian, Russian and many more languages: https://github.com/UKHomeOffice/posters/tree/master/access
