NASA Clears The Runway For Open Source Software

“The NASA Open Government Initiative has launched a new website to expand the agency’s open source software development. Open source development, which invites the public access to view and improve software source code, is transforming the way software is created, improved and used. NASA uses open source code to address project and mission needs, accelerate software development and maximize public awareness and impact of research.”
