Government Funds Secret Sustainable Computing
SEWilco writes "OSDN's NewsForge reports that Carnegie Mellon University has started a Sustainable Computing Consortium to improve the quality and security of software.
The only news release is that NASA gave CMU $23 million to help create dependable software.
SCC members get an internal-use license for SCC software. So taxpayers are paying millions to create proprietary software, and companies get access for a few thousand dollars.
(There is some blurring between CMU's SCC and CMU's High Dependability Computing Consortium, although HDCC's web site has been idle for a year.)"
You dirty communist. If you don't love America, leave it, and bring your Linux hippie friends with you.
