Interesting! I wonder how big of a loop hole the open source waiver will be: "All unclassified custom-developed computer software and related
technical data ... shall be managed as open
source software unless specifically waived by the service acquisition
executive."
Also, while their definition of open source looks reasonable for a single sentence, I wonder what new license arguments will develop around this requirement should this bill pass.

I don't know, let's assume it's big.
I doubt any. There's a long history of US government/military open source. The licensing arguments have come from government people with baroque theories about government copyright and liability, not contractors.
