> I used to work in defense, should that software be open source?
Software that is used internally and not distributed need not be free software. That was not my point.
That said, I do work in defense now (writing software for a defense partner that finances the research of my lab) and the contract requires that all our production be published under an open source license. Only the data is secret, and we don't really get to see most of it.
