[qfmwwfli] Open source Uber

Consider regulating car services such as Lyft and Uber by requiring that the app be free (libre) and open source, both the app used by the driver and used by the passenger to request the car.

The goal is to allow easier creation of competitor apps which are not just locked in to one service, thereby lowering the barrier to entry for future competitors to Uber and Lyft, preventing them from asserting a monopoly.
