But in all seriousness, this is a great step forward in institutional software. Open up software to further progress towards standardizing an industry's software interface.

That + bloomberg hate + symphony's ridiculously good reception in the markets. Symphony's starting look like it could be finance's heroku/slack.

#7Great move. I really believe in the "free software, free society" idea of the FSF. After this batch, I'm sure there will still be a lot left to open source, but it's definitely a big step! If we're fortunate, others will follow suit.
Germany is a great country for stuff like this. They have a relatively high share of Linux users, OpenStreetMap usage, etc. I feel like they're very critical towards their own country and don't take things for granted (not the "we're so proud of our country" idea). As a Dutchman, I like Germany.

Says public domain in the post but all the code says Apache, weird~

I would much prefer a bank using that over, say, Python

Interesting, I would have expected Java or C++ but it turns out to be C# and Javascript.
