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.

    This is a large amount of money, but it is a tiny amount compared to the licensing costs of other operating systems for large organizations like this.

    "Low code quality keeps haunting our entire industry. That, and sloppy programmers who don't understand the frameworks they work within. They're like plumbers high on glue," Mr. de Raadt said.
