Defense Dept. Memo Explains Open Source Policy

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bureaucracy-miring-in-itself dept.

TonyStanco writes "Big news. DoD issued a policy statement leveling the playing field for Open Source. We have the memo on the Center of Open Source & Government site." The requirements listed in this memo make me think of a company policy along the lines of "You can bring your baby or toddler to work, so long as it can talk, feed itself and stick effortlessly to the ceiling like a spider." See this PDF for more information about National Security Telecommunications and Information Systems Security Policy (NSTISSP) number 11.

    Well, with the advent of gecko tape that last part may now be possible!

    It's not that hard to do now, if you wrap them up in that new Gecko tape.
