US Defense Dept. goes public with some open source plans
As a next step in open source, the DoD is teaming up with the Open Source Software Institute (OSSI) on a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) that will allow over 50 federal administration applications to be publicly distributed under an open source license.
In a presentation at John Hopkins University on Monday, DoD officials said that, under the deal, users in other federal agencies — along with state and local government, and the general public — will be able to reuse code developed by the agency’s Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for its Corporate Management Information System (CMIS).
