Authority to open source myFire
AJ made this Official Information request to Fire and Emergency New Zealand
The request was refused by Fire and Emergency New Zealand.
From: AJ
Dear New Zealand Fire Service Commission,
Who has the rights over the myFire source code? Specifically, the right to make this information public?
If it is the developer, please provide the developers details. If it is the NZ Fire Commission, please revisit the OIA request which was declined as releasing trade secrets.
If the developer has rights over the source code, does this mean the developer is also able to withdraw the source code from the fire service to protect his/her trade secrets from their competition had the latest tender been won by a different supplier? Is the expenditure on the myFire app therefore considered a donation, as the NZ Fire Commission does not actually have rights over what was paid for? If this was a donation, is the developer a registered charity?
Yours faithfully,
AJ

Dear Market.Services.OC,
This document looks like it protects the providers existing IP but seems to basically give the NZFSC full, non-exclusive rights over the IP that was generated.
I do not see how the NZFSC can say they are unable to open source the FireApp due to the rights of the provider. Can you please explain.
Yours sincerely,
AJ
