Mozilla Uncooperative With OSS Groups on Security?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the working-the-bugs-out dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In response to Firefox lead developer Ben Goodger's claim that "redistributions of the official Mozilla releases are never going to give you security updates as quickly as Mozilla", Christopher Aillon of Red Hat says that this is only because Mozilla doesn't play by the same rules as other OSS projects. He says that while other OSS projects work with vendors to achieve simeltaneous releases of patched software, Mozilla does no such thing unless compelled to do so."

    Yeah, you're right - they're just like those Debian guys with their logo. And we all know they don't care about openness!
