DARPA Grant Cancelled for OpenBSD and U-Penn?

Starrider writes "It seems the DARPA grant for OpenBSD and for University of Pennsylvania has been cancelled (?) immediately and without warning. See the full story in Theo's email and on deadly.org." Theo is left to only speculate why funding was suddenly pulled. One also has to wonder what this means for the University of Pennsylvania, since they were also in for a piece of the pie.

    I find it strangely ironic that a /. poster who calls himself "Erect Horsecock" would be telling anyone to grow up, or telling a high-profile hacker that nobody cares about his opinion.

    Actually, Saddam is in a Dacha on the Black Sea,
    Iraq is a smoldering heap of burnt childrens
    bodies, descending into the kind of murderous
    anarchy you see in Mad Max movies, Afghanistan is
    a rats nest of corrupt warlords, with a puppet
    dictator installed by a foreign power that has to
    supply his bodyguards because any Afghan on the
    staff would be sure to frag him, and Al Qaeda is
    spreading like SARS.
