TPP has provision banning requirements to transfer or access source code (Knowledge Ecology International)

Knowledge Ecology International looks at Article 14.17 of the Trans-PacificPartnership (TPP), which has a provision banning requirements totransfer or provide access to software source code."I'm wondering how the GPL fares here, and how much money Microsoft spent lobbying to get this included in the TPP, or if the NSA has a role in this. One aspect of this provision is that governments cannot insist on source code transparency, for mass market software, even to address concerns over security or interoperability."
