Singapore decided to release their Tracing-App under GPL-3.0 [0], which obviously would establish better trust and would benefit other countries and regions as well, as the software (or parts of it) could be re-used, being in line with PMPC[1] as well as the FSFE's call to release any COVID19 Tracking App under a Free Software License.

I did a quick search and found an article by the Singaporean government explaining their logic, which I shared also.

Yes, I think it helps to share more infos.
Note that in Germany is a large debate about a possible app ongoing, with news almost daily. If you want a good coverage by folks you know what Free Software and privacy is, I can recomment netzpolitik.org.
E.g. https://netzpolitik.org/2020/faq-corona-apps-die-wichtigsten-fragen-und-antw... an FAQ where it say under 10.:
"Singapur, Österreich und Island haben dabei gute Erfahrungen mit quelloffener Software, dezentraler Speicherung und der Beschränkung auf die Bluetooth-Funktion gemacht"
rough translation "Singapore, Austria and Island have made good experiences with Free Software, decentral storage and limitation on bluetooth functionality."
