[Citation needed] Colour me cynical, but myself Glora: Pease to be providing the same. Without buzzword-driven compliance, Cassandra would quite likely not be my immediate choice for such a project. It could well be that I am just plain ignorant, so it would be wonderful if anyone could point out publicly-available UID white-papers describing the rationale behind technology choices; whether open source, or not. IMHO, the use of open source, or the lack thereof, is a smaller problem here: The lack of even a sham at protecting individual privacy is a definite problem. Personally, as far as I am concerned, it cannot be soon enough that the IUD^W UID money-grab comes to an end. Too bad that it seems like that public money has already been spent on this cynical (from the side of the proponents) boondoggle. I suppose that this is peanuts compared to the standard scams that the Indian public seems to have gotten used to, but nevertheless.
