So you claim you can’t find any relation between Obama, his new CIO, and open source? Doesn’t look like you’re looking very hard, if at all:

Need More?

Yes I need more...

My initial request of you, so nice to ignore, is evidence that he *produced* open source or *converterd* closed source to *open source*.

There is a world of difference between using apache and turning things public that should not be..

All of this is besides the point as I have

1) Already said I doubt he is up to the job
2) Already said I am leary of *anyone* Obama appoints
3) Said for year I am against forcing open source in the government
