As I mentioned earlier, the DoD has removed major roadblocks in using open source software from DISA's "Application Security & Development Security Technical Implementation Guide" (AppDev STIG). This effort was actually kicked off during the first MIL-OSS meeting in Georgia. In one of those hallway meetings that are sometimes more important than the talks inside, a developer told me about the serious problems they were having because of the STIG. A number of us have worked together to get that fixed (I wrote the change proposal, Aaron Lippold helped me work through DISA's processes, Dan Risacher made this a priority for DISA, and I'm sure there were others involved too). The good news is that it's finally fixed. More details here: http://www.dwheeler.com/blog/2011/12/21/#dod-app-sec-stig --- David A.
