I fully agree. If I have any say in this, *all* hardware and software development funded by our grants must be open sourced and made freely available. If you want to keep it proprietary, don't do it with our money.

I 100% agree. The issue we have is ARDC has thumbed it's nose at FOSS for years.

The IPIP back end code: closed source Portal code: not free software, and with no stated rights to it ARDC BIND code for ampr.org dns: Closed source

I'd be more inclined to trust ARDC if they had a proven track record of FOSS support.
