Responses to ADTI Paper

Posted by michael on from the trolling-for-microsoft dept.

Everyone and their brother has something to say about the silly and incoherent ADTI paper released yesterday. It doesn't even seem worth the effort to me - it's so internally inconsistent that I can't imagine it convincing anyone of anything. Nevertheless, David Skoll of Roaring Penguin has a good rebuttal, and Newsforge ? pointed out that the MITRE study that's been kicking around for so long is now public, and took a look at the differences between the two. Update: 06/11 18:43 GMT by M : Another rebuttal, by John Viega and Bob Fleck of Secure Software.

  1. How secure is MS source code? by mwk · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Underlying this whole discussion is the idea that MS source code has been, is and will always be completely secure.

    Does that seem very likely?

    Yeah.. those with money, power, and influence are often skeptical of democracy.

  3. Re:Open Source, GPL and Linux'll never win! by kindbud · · Score: 1, Redundant

    None of that matters, even if true. The only way to kill the GPL is to amend copyright law to explictly ban it. If we let that happen, well - we got what we deserved for sleeping at the wheel.
