Embedding facial recognition surveillance in a city-wide CCTV network represents a shocking expansion of police surveillance, and turns Cardiff into an Orwellian zone of biometric surveillance. This unprecedented use of the technology could pave the way for the mass rollout of permanent facial recognition surveillance across the UK. Live facial recognition technology turns us into walking barcodes and makes us a nation of suspects. This network of facial recognition cameras will make it impossible for Cardiff residents and visitors to opt-out of a biometric police identity check.

It doesn't say what license they are going to use, so it may not be open source. The wording is very weaselly.

In general, if it passed peer review it shouldn't matter how it was written.

The fact the blatant examples apparently made it past peer review show how shoddy the process is though.
