nowhere does it say that centos is approved for use in DoD. it is not on the APL, only RedHat and SuSE

Do you wish to pay for this? skimming the requirements, it also requires extensive documentation of said 'Product'. Do you wish to write this? -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz

Your point? Do you think it should be? (I mean DoD approval. I'm ambivalent about using CentOS as a life preserver.) -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>

In fact, CentOS is not now, nor has it ever been *certified* for anything. Certifications require people to PAY to certify a product. Specifically, EAL4 Certification, a requirement for the DOD, costs up to 2.5 million dollars .. see this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_Assurance_Level#Impact_on_cost_and_schedule That cost would be for each main version of CentOS (2.1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7) .. so the cost to have all 6 previous major versions certified would be: 6 x $2.5 Million = $15 Million dollars. Since CentOS is given away for free ... I can't afford to pay 15 million dollars to have it EAL4 certified .. can anyone on this list? Certifications and security testing and assurance, along with a Service Level Agreement for fixing bugs is why people who require any of those things need to buy RHEL.

If you cannot provide details on this list, please send me an signed (and encrypted if needed) mail from your official email address.
