Actually I think he was asking about the software being certified for military
use. I don't believe this has been done, however, I know that postgresql was
included in a recent (I believe DOD) report about open source software being
used within the government. One company you might want to contact is
http://www.devis.com who has done a number of different projects with the
government. Hope this helps, and if you do get a definitive answer, please
post your finding to the -advocacy group.
