The autonomy properties of FOSS make it useful for'
Department of Defense applications such as
rapid responses to cyberattacks, for which slow, low-security
external update processes are neither practical nor advisable,
and for applications where rapid, open, and community-wide sharing
of software components is desirable.
On the other hand, the same autonomy properties complicate the
interactions of FOSS with non-FOSS software, leading to concerns
- some valid and some not - about how and where FOSS
should be used in complex defense systems.

 Ein Weg Communities zu erzeugen und darin IntellectualProperty
 zu vertreiben.  Funktionierte nicht mit Unix, wohl aber mit anderen.
 Könnte eher für absehbar kleinere Communities, in denen außer initialem
 Contributor kaum etwas zu erwarten ist funktionieren.
