eWeek
covers Lisa
Wolfisch Nyman's OSCON talk titled "Open Source in Government". "
A
2002 report from the MITRE Corp. also identified 110 open-source software
tools in use at the Department of Defense. And this year, the office of the
CIO at the Department came out with an official open-source software
policy, which placed open-source software under the same requirements of
Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) products and the same security
certification, she said."
