FreeS/WAN Project Bows Out

Posted by timothy on from the ideas-don't-die-though dept.

V. Mole writes "After five years, the FreeS/WAN project has decided to end development. The main reason seems to be that although the project was technically successful, it was not making much progress with its political goals of encrypting a significant portion of all Internet communications, although one might guess that the selection of KAME for the standard Linux IPSEC implementation might also have influenced this decision. And don't panic, the software will remain available, and of course some other group is free to continue development."

    A little bell rang in my mind when I heard this. Then I realized, "Don't PANIC!" is on the title of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
