Good article.. but i dont get your what your rhetoric has to do with it.
Sounds like they are offering funding to anyone who can follow the guidelines. I would assume that would also mean open source.

Personally, i think it leaves many areas that are important open to interpretation.

What they should do is setup the certification for each software major revision. This software is certified for 2009 standards, but not 2010 standards. Then say... Until you upgrade to the newest version, you continue to receive funding.

This will encourage continued spending on maintenance and force software companies to continually improve their software.

I wouldn?t necessarily say they have to recertify the entire program, more that they would have to review the next major edition of the software. I would say the software needs to go through a very tough and thorough certification process every 5-7 years.
