Does Open Source Software Put Government Security at Risk? 

,----[ Quote ]
| So, the answer to the question is, no. Using 
| open source software in government, in private 
| business or at home actually puts you at less 
| risk.
| 
| The Obama Administration is moving in the 
| right direction, as are many other of the 
| world's governments, by transitioning away 
| from proprietary software and using software 
| that is cost-free and open source.
| Maybe once the trend is set, private 
| businesses will follow the example and adopt 
| open source software for their use as well.
| 
| Now there's some change I can believe in.
