"...This code has been disclosed in response to a request under the Dutch Open Government Act ("Wet open Overheid")..."'

Sounds like it was not voluntary. Also not sure what kind of transparency is expected here, since there is no way to find if the source code published is the same used to build the app. Maybe decompilation is the way to go...

It's semi-voluntary; the request to open source the application came from the Dutch congress/2nd chamber if I recall, but took a while due to private information leaking concerns.

It was released as the result of a Freedom of Information (WOO/WOB) request made by serial "WOBBER/WOOOER" @BugBlauw, check his twitter (use google translate, works well with Dutch).
