the news is not that this service is available. the news is that the US govt is burning its own money doing what is being done free, wretchedly to curb the ills of the products of proprietory companies who are anyways quite rich. the opinion is that this could lead to further pressure on closed-source companies for 'transparancy' which in turn will lead to further pressure for GPL or similar licensing. the news is that inadvertently this attacks the closed-source paradigm and shows the time has come for a dramatic shift in thinking.
