Indian President Advises Open Source Approach

[1]geo_2677 writes "The Indian President Dr. A Kalam has
[2]advised defense scientists to go for open-source software
for software security, rather than be stuck with insecure
proprietary software. Being a [3]scientist himself, he surely
knows what's good for his country." Speaking at the Indian
Navy's Weapons and Electronic System Engineering
Establishment, Kalam argued: "Open source codes can easily
introduce the users to build security algorithms in the
system without the dependence of proprietary platforms",
though continues: "We should take maximum care to ensure that
our solution is unique to protect our own defence security
solutions implemented on open platforms." We [4]previously
reported on Richard Stallman's meeting with Dr. Kalam earlier
this year.
