Many civic technology organisations are embedded in the open movement, though this is not necessarily an innate feature of such entities. An interesting consideration in this regard is how a civic technology entity can create business models around non-proprietary data or even non-proprietary code. Each organisation will have to decide whether to what extent they wish to deviate from open models, or how to adjust their business models to extract value from something other than proprietary assets.
This may simply mean focusing not on selling data or code, but rather on your service and expertise.
