Historical context
2020 baseline
In 2020, Hungary was an "emerging" country with a balanced, medium-level approach and clear political will, demonstrated through legally binding decrees promoting OSS.
2024 progression
The promotion of open source appears to have slowed since the mid-2010s. The national strategy that replaced the one for 2014-2020 does not mention open source. However, OSS continues to be used at the local level, for example by the Budapest City Council.
