The fact that it was deemed worthwhile enough to fly on the Space Shuttle 
probably carries some weight in the states ;-)

A statement from the folks that did that project, saying why they chose Debian,
which is bound to include source availability as a major feature (especially
if we ask them to mention it), should help to emphasise the point.
