[Posted July 11, 2003 by ris]

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."
