CIA Software Developer Goes Open Source, Instead
 
jamie found this piece, at Wired's Danger Room from a couple of days back, about an encouraging sign for the growth of open source in the military / intelligence sphere. "For three years, Matthew Burton has been trying to get a simple, useful software tool into the hands of analysts at the Central Intelligence Agency. For three years, haggling over the codersquo;s intellectual property rights has kept the software from going anywhere near Langley. So now, Burtonrsquo;s releasing it mdash; free to the public, and under an open source license."pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.slashdot.org%2Fstor y%2F10%2F08%2F07%2F1715259%2FCIA-Software-Developer-Goes-Open-Source-Instead" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=CIA+Software+Developer+Goes+Open+Sourc e%2C+Instead%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F9aDn0J" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/08/07/1715259/CIA-Software-Developer-Goes-Open-Source-Instead?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./ppa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/qIcnbPbYLW-ah1ICRT-oQHLVI-w/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/qIcnbPbYLW-ah1ICRT-oQHLVI-w/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/qIcnbPbYLW-ah1ICRT-oQHLVI-w/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/qIcnbPbYLW-ah1ICRT-oQHLVI-w/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotDevelopers/~4/fa2mOKyhkSs" height="1" width="1"/
