Probably you are right, but the article I read (unfortunately in Norwegian) it was said that even Microsoft had gotten around the GPL problem so DoD was confident. Perhaps the article mixed BSD license and GPL. Here is a pdf from DISA about Open Source in DoD http://www.opengroup.org/public/member/q402/proceedings/plenary-monday/linker.pdf It discusses GPL a bit too. -- http://www.gulufuture.com/news/kate_adie030310.htm
