The public information thing is so abused. I'm from a nordic european country where my local hackerspace figured out that the public transport app we use should be considered public information, and we should be able to request its source code.
But when we contacted the person in charge of *Digitalisation* they said they can only PRINT the source code for us, and it would cost an estimated 4000 dollars in paper printing. This is the person in charge of digitising their organisation... in a time when we're measuring every page printed and counting it towards our sustainability scores.
Really makes you wonder if they're being difficult on purpose to hide shitty source code.
