The military uses a lot of open source software.

It would be interesting if the maintainers of several projects the Pentagon depends on were to start using Claude on those projects.

How would Hegseth explain that it is both such a big risk that he wants to ban from government work any company that uses Anthropic even if they are not using it for their government work, yet they keep using those open source projects whose maintainers are using it for the work the government is using?

Note: even projects that do not allow AI contributions could almost certainly find something helpful to use it for.
