Can the Terms of the GPL Prevent GNU/Linux being used for War?

There's been a lot of noise on the internet recently about the fact that the Windows-based software being used in the remote control system of drones use by the American military has been hit by a virus and this has caused the Department of Defense (DOD) to use GNU/Linux which is a more secure option. This has, predictably, caused raised eyebrows and demands by some that any military organisation should be prevented from using GNU/Linux in offensive weapons systems.

A core dilemma for IT today is how to properly protect the organizations' information systems and assets given security tools often seem like a black hole sucking down both time and money. But a strong defense doesn't have to be expensive, and a good place to start is assessing what information is publicly available and figuring out how to safeguard it from attack.

Parse Shows Off Anypic, The Open Source Instagram Clone That Took 30 Minutes To Build | TechCrunch

It took Instagram a good amount of time to build a mobile photo-sharing app that could scale to 50 million users -- and its efforts were obviously recognized by others when it was acquired by Facebook for $1 billion earlier this year. But Parse, the startup that launched out of Y Combinator last summer and provides backend-as-a-service tools for mobile app developers, says that making such services should not take so much time and money anymore, because Parse's tools make it much easier and faster to build really scalable mobile apps.

 

So they put Anypic out there to prove it.
