An aggregation of open source software catalogs from national, regional,
local and global governing institutions — updated weekly. Are we missing a catalog?
Submit it here.
No description means the publisher wrote none and GitHub had
none either — not saying what software does is a failure to share it.
Not adoptable means an upstream fork, a deployment recipe, CI plumbing, a
locale bundle or org metadata: real files, but nothing a government can
adopt. Both are flagged, never deleted, and both are always present
in /entries.json with an
exclude_reason.

A blank licence means the upstream catalogue did not state a real SPDX
identifier — it is left empty rather than guessed. “Repo gone” requires two
consecutive failed checks, so a single 404 never shows here. Set-aside entries were
harvested but held out of the default view (forks of upstream projects, CI plumbing,
deployment recipes, locale bundles); they keep their reason, stay in the data, and come
back with the toggle above. Entries whose publisher wrote no description at all
are among them: the upstream catalogue published none, GitHub had none either, and one is
not invented here — not saying what the software does is a failure to share it.
2 stay in the default view despite having none, because they shipped a
publiccode.yml, and a publisher's own declaration that something is reusable
is never overridden by a rule of ours.

If your government publishes an open source register, or you know one that is not listed, open an issue. It will be assessed against the same first-hand rule as the 19 already here — a live endpoint is not enough, the data has to be there.
