French army hails open source as a sovereignty tool

A French defence-sector newsletter reports that the French military is presenting open source software as a factor of national sovereignty and efficiency. The statement is drawing attention and some irony: open source advocates have long made this argument, but they did not expect the armed forces to state it so plainly. Commenters see it as a notable endorsement of free software's role in France's digital independence.
Why now: The unexpectedness of the French army explicitly endorsing open source as a sovereignty factor is surprising and ironic to observers.
