Could you please kindly tell me what IRS stands for?
The Internal Revenue Service. It’s the U.S. tax collection agency, created a bit over a century ago under, shall we say, questionable circumstances.
Isn’t most software made by the US government required to be open source anyway?
Based IRS. So the torch will need to be carried by open source devs.
Article says it was always required to be open source and it is not an act of defiance
I suspect that they’ve been pressured to keep it out of public by turbo tax lobbyists, but with the straight on attempt to kill it lately, they decided just to ignore that pressure and push it out to spite those lobbyists.
Cooperating with the law is often percieved as an act of defiance with this administration, though.
