It looks like the Federal Source Code policy at sourcecode.cio.gov is 404'ing; though there are many references to the URL [1][2]: https://github.com/WhiteHouse/source-code-policy/blob/gh-pag... [1] https://www.cio.gov/2016/08/11/peoples-code.html [2] https://code.gov/agency-compliance/compliance/procurement > Section 7.2 and 7.3 of the Source Code Policy require agencies to provide an inventory of their 'custom-developed code' to support government-wide reuse and make Federal open source code easier to find. > Using these inventories, Code.gov will provide a platform to search federally funded open source software and software available for government-wide reuse. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35888037 : security.txt, carbon.txt, SPDX SBOM, OSV, JSON-LD, blockcerts
