Extrait de l'article du site computerworld.com par Patrick Thibodeau en date du 28 octobre 2009 :
« Cet article en anglais présente la politique du Département de la Défense américain qui publie de plus en plus ces logiciels sous licences libres :
The U.S Department of Defense is not only encouraging use of open source applications, it recently open-sourced an enterprise human resources application that has over a million lines of code.
This isn't the first time the DOD has released code to the public. In June, a PC-based mapping application developed by the Georgia Tech Research Institute for the military, FalconView, was also made available as open source.
In short, the DOD is making use of open-source applications a two-way street, and there may be more DOD-funded open-source software on the way. »
