Developing Open Source Defense Projects
An anonymous reader writes "I'm a developer looking to develop an open source surface-to-air missile guidance system, with the aim of helping developing nations develop low-cost missile defense systems to aid them against attack by the warplanes of invading forces. However, given the very nature of the project, I feel I may be walking into a bit of a minefield regarding the legalities of such a project, since, as I'm sure you can imagine, this project could easily benefit hostile nations was well as relatively peaceful ones! Unfortunately, since Google does not seem to shed much light on the subject, I'd be very interested in hearing Slashdot's views on the matter, especially some advice from those in the know about the legal matters - whether there would be any restrictions (exports, perhaps?) or whether it would be simply plain illegal to develop!"
You picked a bad day to post this question!
OK, michael must be stopped...
perhaps someone here chould develop a ground-to-slashdot editor missile system so we can get on with the regular dupes and SCO stories?
Schrodinger's cat is either dead or really pissed off...
Well you can do that. StartCraft Expantion set. The Protoss have the ability to mind control any living unit. So except for controlling a big bad guy you controll a pesant guy and have him build an other army of his race. That you can controll.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
any foreign countries that they find Oil in
Yeah, we Americans are really taking advantage of our access to the vast Iraqui oil supplies -- not to mention the close proximity of our huge military force to the OPEC nations. Why, OPEC is trembling in their boots while we drain Iraq dry! Read all about it here, here, and here.
