Position Paper for the Endorsement of Free Software and Open Standards in Horizon 2020 and All Publicly-Funded Research. Gkotsopoulou, O., Albers, E., Malaja, P., Sanjurjo, F., & Di Cosmo, R. In Free Software Foundation Europe. Free Software Foundation Europe, Berlin, Germany, January, 2017. abstract bibtex The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) is a charity that empowers users to control technology by advocating for Free Software. In a digital world, Free Software is the fundament of Open Knowledge, Open Innovation and Open Science. [] Software is an integral part of today's society. Our daily interactions, transactions, education, communication channels, work and life environments rely heavily on software. "Free Software" refers to all programs distributed under terms and licences that allow users to run the software for any purpose, to study how the program works, to adapt the program to their needs, to improve the program and to distribute the improved version of it so that the general public can benefit. Source code is a precondition for a user to study how the program works. The Free Software ideals of transparency, openness and collaboration are very much the same as the principles endorsed in scientific community, theory and process, and will support scientific and technological innovation in Europe and worldwide. [] This paper summarises the FSFE's key recommendations on the midterm evaluation of the Horizon 2020 and the European Commission' s efforts to draft the Framework Programme 2018-2020. Implementing these recommendations will unlock the full potential of Open Science and Open Access investments, which are at the core of Horizon 2020. [Excerpt] In line with the European Parliament resolution of 19 January 2016 "Towards a Digital Single Market Act" (2015/2147(INI)) and common practices in major research institutions such as MIT, CERN and others, the FSFE makes the following recommendations: [::1] Open Standards should be preferred for all knowledge exchange, and in particular for the dissemination of scientific publications and the archival of all articles, data, and software used in scientific research. The use of Open Standards in data and software repositories and Data Management Plans (DMPs) concerning the Horizon 2020 publications, is necessary to ensure data preservation and Open Science. Research Funding Organisations should take the lead and foster changes of business models when dealing with research data. [::2] Software developed with public funding, and in particular in the framework of the Horizon2020 programme should be mandatorily published under a Free Software licence. [::3] Software developed with public funding, and in particular in the framework of the Horizon2020 programme should be mandatorily archived in a public software repository ensuring long term availability and persistent identification. [::4] Data and software repositories and Data Management Plans (DMPs) must employ Free Software in order to ensure unfettered access to their contents and long term preservation. [::5] An "Open Science" Prize should be established to raise awareness and promote Open Science. [] [...]
