I found several reviews of the DoD's Open Technology Development report on Business Review Online and Info World. Neither even addresses finer points of the report. The Info World article goes as far as to refer to the US Defense Department’s plan as being about “how to make the DoD a participant in the wider software community…” Thats not the role of the DoD. This is the US Defense Department, not fun and games!!!

At least both DoD study reviews cite (but do not address) notable criticisms of extensive Defense open source deployment, which readers should consider.

Darl McBride, SCO Group CEO

"I assert that open source software - available widely through the Internet - has the potential to provide our nation's enemies or potential enemies with computing capabilities..."

Dan O’Dowd, CEO of embedded systems vendor Green Hills Software

"Now that foreign intelligence agencies and terrorists know that Linux is going to control our most advanced defense systems, they can use fake identities to contribute subversive software that will soon be incorporated into our most advanced defense systems."
