Defense Info Agency Open-Sources Its Web Apps
,----[ Quote ]
| DISA, which provide IT services to the Department of Defense, made the
| decision to share its applications after other agencies expressed interest in
| them, said Dick Nelson, chief of personnel systems support at DISA's
| manpower, personnel and security directorate. "Federal agencies discovered
| that the applications we have could be of benefit more widely," he said.
| Interest is coming from states and counties, as well.

| Richard Stallman views proprietary software, and specifically software
| patents, as deliberate efforts to prevent people from helping each other. ÂIn
| this way people make money providing what someone else would gladly supply
| free. ÂI think both file sharing and free software are evidence that people
| are naturally inclined to share and help, within certain constraints. ÂThe
| sharing communities have arisen within those constraints. ÂIf all this is
| accurate, then file sharing and open source come from a basic part of our
| social nature and are going to be very hard to eradicate - hysterical
| anti-piracy campaigns and patent-supported software behemoths
| notwithstanding.
