Torvalds on the Linux Security Process
darthcamaro writes "Linus Torvalds thinks that Linux kernel security disclsoure should be completely open and he really doesn't like the vendor-security model of having a time embargo on security disclosure. 'I think kernel bugs should be fixed as soon as humanly possible, and any delay is basically just about making excuses,' Torvalds wrote. 'And that means that as many people as possible should know about the problem as early as possible, because any closed list (or even just anybody sending a message to me personally) just increases the risk of the thing getting lost and delayed for the wrong reasons.'"
Torvalds says this and its the TRUTH for the masses.
Gates says this and its LIES for the masses.
The surprise isn't how often we make bad choices; the surprise is how seldom they defeat us.
RMS has nothing to do with the OSS movement. Your ad hominem attack on everyone in OSS you don't agree with might've been better if you had used ERS instead, but then you wouldn't have gotten a chance to use your _communist_ line, would you?
