I saw you present a version of this in probably 2016 or so at little security conference in DC (maybe platform security conference?). Anyhow your talk was a huge deal for defense contractors doing proposal work at the time (and since).

In the DoD space a standard ask in a class of proposals is for having a commercialization plan for dual use stuff. Pushing that open source is commercial created a way for contractors to have their commercialization strategy for a proposal to be 'open source it'. Lots of open source development is out there as a result of your efforts and I can't imagine that was a fun bureaucratic battle to fight. Thank you seems small, but thank you and I owe you a beverage.

A beverage sounds fun! I live in the DC area. If you're in the area, contact me at [e-mail] and maybe we can find a way to "do lunch". :-)
