CCL: Science code manifesto

Sebastian pointed out the details. It is an exclusive method which excludes those that cannot meet the criteria of the manifesto. Therefore it is closing in its effect on the population of potential scientific results and not to mention attempts by the scientific community to meet the criteria of the manifesto. The manifesto you mention should be the sole responsibility of each journal that aims to publish such work.

Cheers

I do not understand your point. The manifesto is supporting open
source. Any open source code meets all the criteria of the manifesto,
What is being closed? The manifesto is fully in accordance with what
Google does.
