[erlang-questions] US DOD Certification of Erlang?

[Valentin Micic]

IMHO, open source may introduce security risks that might be very dificult 
to quantify. Maybe a sound approach would be to see if they ever certified 
any open-source environment (how's Java doin', for example) and see if it is 
even possible. But I have a strong feeling that DoD would not certify 
something that does not have a "Made in U.S.A." tag, woulld they? ;-) I 
mean, just think about it -- if they can run it, so can Russia, Iran... 
where's the competitive advantage?
