Is the software freeware/shareware and is the source code unavailable?
Mark yes if software is public domain and is only available in binary format (no source code). Binary or machine executable public domain software products and other software products with limited or no warranty, such as those commonly known as freeware or shareware, are not used in Department of Defense (DoD) information systems unless they are necessary for the mission and no alternative solutions are available. Such products are assessed for information assurance impacts and approved for use by the Designated Accrediting Authority (DAA). The assessment acknowledges that such software products are difficult or impossible to review, repair, or extend, given the Government does not have access to the original source code and there is no owner who could make such repairs on behalf of the Government.
