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 the same DARPA that funded the creation of the internet. The same DARPA that continues to fund new internet technology.
    No more using the web for you until the war is over.
    Hypocrite.

    Mr. de Raadt is no fan of the U.S. military at the moment. He calls the war in Iraq an oil grab. "It just sickens me."

    It sickens me too, the things we are learning about regarding how Saddam has treated his people. The torture, kidnappings, rape, etc. The way he lives like a king while his people starve all the while claiming US sanctions are to blame (while stockpiling food and other supplied no less). I'm really pissed that the US&UK forces are uncovering all of this, I liked it better when the UN and the world looked the other way because he had oil.
