Perhaps it would be of mutual benefit for Devuan as a project to sign on
to the FSFE campaign to require FOSS licensing for publicly funded code.
Here are two links, one for the campaign and one discussion of the
campaign:

https://publiccode.eu/

https://dot.kde.org/2017/09/13/public-money-public-code-join-fsfe-campaign

The positive results of such a campaign I hope are self-evident. The
benefits of Devuan signing on would be that it raises the profile of the
project a little among people likely to be able to benefit and maybe help.
