[Matthew Wilkes]
Oh, I didn't mean they should use proprietary software, just that in my experience the kind of people who are active in open source are quite anti-war, green, etc. There are notable exceptions, but I know people who worry that their work will have military applications, and who turn down projects because of it.
I question the whole notion of using open source in military weapons. It seems like a rather basic violation of operational security. Perhaps your enemies will exploit your bugs instead of nicely reporting them and submitting patches on SourceForge ;-) Raymond _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
