Well, that's a lot more of a barrier than allowing them to make free, unlimited legal copies just because someone gave them a single copy.

As usual you're being obtuse. The statement EXPLICITELY states that the United States Government can deny this code to anyone it wishes for any reason it deems appropriate.

FYI there's a coming clampdown on open source use by the military. Where I work, the ability to download any of it is being blocked by our perimeter proxy. And no, that wasn't GE's decision, it came from the highest levels of the DoD.

Again, irrelevant. This product was purchased by the US Military, who defined the specifications. i seriously doubt that the supposed "clampdown" is genuine, especially in light of your other interpretive mistakes.

Let's all just trust the infinite wisdom of the government. /ignorance

Well if it's not Shadow Ace, or FLAMING DEATH, it's some other Dark Lord defending free software for whatever government can get their hands on a copy. Now they're even posting in red LOL.

Not much difference in Liber-als and Liber-tarians in my book. And stick to something you may know something about, if there is such a thing. It obviously doesn't include these subjects, and FYI your buddy renuzit is is a college kid majoring in PS.
