Devuan is a distribution backed by the Dyne.org Foundation as the main
institution behind it, also employing some of its developers.

At Dyne.org we are among the early signatures of the publiccode
initiative, already since more than 15 years we use all the public
money we get from the European Commission to research and develop free
and open source software and among this software is also Devuan, which
is benefitting from the work done in the https://DECODEproject.eu

so you can consider Devuan is already up there and shines thanks to
good practices explained in publiccode.eu. Perhaps a link to
publiccode.eu on the Devuan website would be good, but I leave that
decision to our webmasters.
