So far the President’s record on open source is mixed. The Administration counts as a user of open source, with some of its Web sites running Drupal. The Administration has made moves which seem supportive of open source, both in health care and the military.
On the other hand the Free Software Foundation finds itself on the opposite side of the bar from the Administration in the case of Sony v. Tenenbaum, a music-sharing case. FSF operations manager John Sullivan is deliberately making a “slippery slope” argument that equates the Administration’s support for copyright law, which open source depends on for its own protection, with opposition to open source.
