I believe you are being a bit unfair in your bashing of the DoD. I was in a
meeting (probably a year ago now) with folks from Army CECOM.  They were 
talking about their success in transistioning new R&D technology to industry.
This was all freely available, you had but to ask... guess who asked...
the Japenese... not US Industry.

Access Conrols for DSRS/Asset/CARDS are necessary ... not as much to protect
"Government Interests," but to fulfill data rights obligations, protection of
proprietary data, etc.  Very often DoD procures software which has a 
"Restricted Rights" clause... can be used by the Government, but all
residual rights belong to the Contractor {sort of like buying land and not
getting the mineral rights to it}.

Do you have a CONSTRUCTIVE suggestion on how to deal with the issues?  I will 
be sure to surface them directly to the DoD Reuse Technical Working Group.

Also, there must be a better forum for this discussion than comp.lang.ada.
How about comp.software-eng?

Ken.
