Ownership of Budget 2012 App

Dear The Treasury,

This is a follow up to my previous Official Information Act request
for the source code of the Budget 2012 app, denied due to it being
a trade secret.

I would like to request under the Official Information Act:

* a copy of the contract between PaperKite and the Treasury to
develop the 2012 Budget App
* if it is not revealed in the contract, or the contract is
withheld, who owns the source code for the Budget 2012 App
* if the contract is withheld, whether the contract contains any
terms that would prohibit the disclosure of the source code to
third parties

Although not necessary under the OIA, I understand it is sometimes
helpful to disclose the reason for a request. Section 9(2)(b)(i) of
the Official Information Act [trade secrets] is usually used in
situations where either:

a) the agency is behaving in a commercial fashion, such as
tendering a contract, or is competing against the private sector
b) the agency holds information that is owned by a third party.

Obviously situation A does not apply here, so I am trying to see if
situation B applies to my previous Official Information Act request
for the Budget 2012 App source code.

Feel free to contact me if you wish me to clarify my request.

Yours faithfully,

Joshua Grainger

Dear Samara McDowell,

I would prefer not to give out a postal address. This website is
public and anything I post here is accessible online, and I do not
particularly want my address Googlable.

I do not want anything sent by letter as I would prefer all
correspondence occur over email, so I do not really see why a
postal address is required anyway.

If this is in regards to my eligability under s12 to submit an
Official Information Act requestt then I am a New Zealand citizen
living in New Zealand.

Yours sincerely,

Joshua Grainger
