It seems both cost and software security were considerations. This is an important victory for open source. "It's rare to see a concept as technical as open-source software in a federal funding bill. But the House's proposed National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (H.R. 5658) includes language that calls for military services to consider open-source software when procuring manned or unmanned aerial vehicles." 2008-09-08T14:37:05Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-09-08:/comment/38640 Anonymous Where and when is this bill going to be voted on again?
