Comment Be careful with meaning of "open source" (Score 2, Informative) 101

First of all, Slashdotters need to understand that the term "open source" can be used differently in other contexts. In the intelligence community it has a specific meaning that has nothing to do with software - it refers to intelligence information available through publicly available sources (e.g., the news media, jihadist web sites, web blogs). Don't read too much into the title of the article - I doubt even the author knows for sure which meaning of "open source" was intended.
