Mozilla Foundation Donates $10K to OpenSSH

eklitzke writes to tell us the OpenBSD journal is reporting that the Mozilla Foundation is donating $10,000 USD to the OpenSSH project. This comes as good news after the recent reported financial troubles from the OpenBSD and by extension the OpenSSH team. It seems that quite a few people have answered the call for aid made by OpenBSD's de Raadt.

    How about donating 10K to developers who can fix memory leaks?

    The Appleseed Project could use funding. And a foot massage.

    Mostly we'll just settle for a foot massage.

    Is this going directly to OpenSSH efforts, or to OpenBSD in general?

    This is going directly to Theo's "free as in beer" fund.

    I'm sure they squander all the money on booze and hookers.

    So OpenBSD's doing some marketing now? It's about time!

    On a sufficiently cold day, would that be a "slush fund"?

    Also remember to donate to Slashdot so they can pay a developer to add the BSD section back to the sections list on the left. ;-)
