OpenBSD Lands $2 Million In DARPA Money

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.

    Leave it to Theo to work an algorithm from the inside out.

    Comparing it to Windows will be a moot point, since El Dorado is going to have a 40% larger code base than XP.
  2. Commercialisation by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Does this mean BSD is now somewhat commercialised? I think it's a grey area Theo is walking here. On one hand do you do what you do for free, or on the other hand do you do what you do for money. And if it's money involved I don't see it's ever completely "free" no matter what the GPL says. I think that worries me.

  10. Sickens me too by finkployd · · Score: 0, Troll

    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.
