Why is DARPA investing in general purpose open source technology? I'd expect the U.S. military to seek competitive advantages, but this tech could be used by China, Russia, and Iran as easily as by the U.S. Perhaps this tech suits the U.S.'s needs better than the needs of its competitors?
DARPA has funded general purpose open source tech previously, but for the reasons above I haven't understood why. I'm glad to have the technology, I just don't grasp their motives.
