DoD: Open-source software more secure

,----[ Quote ]
| Daniel Risacher, Associate Director of 
| Enterprise Services and Integration at the 
| DoD's Office of the Chief Information Officer, 
| helped write a memo requiring all DoD agencies 
| to evaluate open-source software on an equal 
| basis with proprietary software. The reason is 
| simple, according to Risacher: Software that 
| goes through a process of peer review tends to 
| be more reliable and secure than software that 
| has not had the same level of scrutiny.
