Their definition of "open source" turned out to be: "the government owns the source IP instead of some defense contractor. No, you can't see it."
In fairness, I'm impressed that they even got that far. How do you think the defense contractor lobbyists responded to that program?
If I had to bet, just as they pivoted from non-profit to capped-profit, they'll pivot from capped-profit to regular-for-profit when the time comes. Not that I have something against for-profits, but it all (name & mission) feels hypocritical and plain branding/marketing.
