Description

Open source principles for our Codex, based on the UN https://opensource.un.org/en/news/united-nations-open-source-principles as suggested by Umberto Modigliani.
I've added explainer paragraphs how we see the principles applied in the ECMWF context.

It might be worth adding a "last reviewed" date somewhere to make it easy to tell at a glance whether this still reflects current policy or needs a refresh.

*Empowering individuals and communities to actively participate.*

ECMWF recognises that open source is made by people, and people need to be acknowledged and supported. Internally, this means recognising open source contributions as a valued part of a developer's work, not a side activity. Externally, it means acknowledging contributors, supporting community members through programmes like [Code for Earth](https://codeforearth.ecmwf.int/), and empowering Member and Co-operating States to become active participants and co-developers, in — not just consumers of — ECMWF software.

last sentence is a bit difficult to follow, maybe something like:
"empowering Member and Co-operating States to become active co-developers of ECMWF software, not just consumers"
