New DoD memo on Open Source Software
,----[ Quote ]
| The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has just
| released Clarifying Guidance Regarding Open
| Source Software (OSS), a new official memo
| about open source software (OSS). This 2009
| memo should soon be posted on the list of
| ASD(NII)/DoD CIO memorandums. This 2009 memo
| is important for anyone who works with the
| DoD (including contractors) on software and
| systems that include software... and I
| suspect it will influence many other
| organizations as well. Let me explain why
| this new memo exists, and what it says.
