"There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is
an idea whose time has come." Victor Hugo.

So states a report from the Department of Defense's Advanced Systems and
Concepts Office, which recommends that the DoD move to a roadmap to adopt
open source and open standards, maintaining that such a move is not only in
the US national interest, but in the interests of US national security.

The 79-page report proposes that the DoD adopt what it calls "open
technology development," which incorporates open source methodologies and
open standards, but also takes into account the fact that the DoD has
systems that it would rather keep secret."
