OpenBSD Lands $2 Million In DARPA Money

Posted by timothy on from the laundering-through-pennsylvania dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Canada's National Post is reporting today that DARPA is (indirectly) funding $2-million (US) to Theo de Raadt of OpenBSD. The article is available here." Update: 04/07 21:01 GMT by T : As several readers have pointed out, this blurb should credit instead The Globe and Mail rather than the National Post.

    OpenBSD, which does not develop as many products as Microsoft, says only one vulnerability or hole has been found in its software in the past seven years.

    Erm, shouldn't that be "only one remote hole in the default install"?
