Where Appropriate and Where Possible
(
)
Where Appropriate and Where Possible are defined as all items that are not exempt due to the following: The Source Code is not owned exclusively by the Crown and is not already open-source. The Source Code is protected In order for source code to potentially be deemed protected, it would have to contain any of the following information: Information that is deemed Classified Information obtained in confidence Information about federal-provincial affairs Information about international affairs and defence Information about law enforcement and investigations Information about the safety of individuals Information about the economic interests of Canada Personal information Third party information Advice about certain aspects of operations of government Information about testing procedures, tests, and audits Information that is subject to solicitor-client privilege Information that is subject to statutory prohibitions Certain types of information held by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited Confidences of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada It is highly unlikely that developers would intentionally include such information in their source code. As a result, source code is considered unclassified unless the developer has included, inadvertently or otherwise, information that falls under the items listed above. Where feasible, this information should be removed from the source code to increase the ability for code to be shared.
