The petition is open to all EU resident. The goal is to replace all Windows in all public institution in Europe with a sovereign GNU/Linux.

Only the end-users would have rights to the source under GPL, and its unlikely that someone is going to risk their job by releasing the code.

Fair point. So I suppose that would be the employees using the distribution rather than the entire populace.
