> Plus I always come back to the question: if you care about open source so much, why aren't you running Linux? Because it's not black and white. I can easily see myself in a position where I have influence over the VPN we use, while not having control over the finance people using Windows (because of the Windows-only accounting software) and the designers using Macs (for all the usual reasons). As a more general point, "I have stricter openness requirements for my infrastructure than I do for client devices" seems like a reasonable position to hold. I do appreciate that the armchair CIO crowd keeps raising auditably/trust/security as being much bigger issues than they are in practice, but I have had engagements in the past where the client demanded that any softare we wrote on their behalf had to be open-sourced. So such requirements are in practice unusual but by no means unheard of.
