It appears to have started with the Climate Code Foundation. I encourage you to visit the web site and consider endorsing the Manifesto. http://sciencecodemanifesto.org/ Note that this is not specifying open source code, so GAMESS(US), GAMESS(UK), DALTON etc., as well as open source codes such as PSI3 amd MPQC satisfies the points of the manifesto. Of course some other quantum chemistry codes do not. I think we should be putting pressure on the authors of such codes to meet the criteria in this manifesto.
