open source is a red herring for voting systems -- would you be happy to
vote on an unauditable, insecure, undocumented, buggy system even if
it had an OSS license?

The problem isn't the license, it's the lousy design.

(PS: ASF link! I'm peripherally involved, and fellow Apache committer Colm
McCarthaigh is deeply involved, with ICTE -- Irish Citizens for
Trustworthy Evoting (http://evoting.cs.may.ie/).   We've had good results
lobbying against the introduction of e-voting systems in Ireland.)
