What is questionable is when proponents of free and open source software begin talking about who to close out of their chosen free and open source software communities, projects and products. Microsoft, Oracle and the U.S. military are atop the list now, yet all three seem to be already fully immersed in using, participating in and even producing free and open source software. Who else should be added to the list of those who are not allowed to participate because free and open source software is closed off to them?

[...] Open Source analyst Jay Lyman at The 451 Group said that “this is a model for government and enterprise end users to use for determining where open source software best fits into their organizations.” He went on to talk about how “the memo and reaction to it represent something larger in adoption of open source software, not only by the U.S. DoD and among other governments around the globe, but also including enterprises and even SMB users: the official embrace of open source.” [...]
