Google Extends Its Patch Reward Program To Include Android

Posted by Soulskill on from the you-break-it-we-bought-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google has extended its proactive Patch Reward Program to include even more open-source software. Among them is the Android Open Source Project, which the company previously did not reveal was going to be added. Last month, Google started providing financial incentives (between $500 and $3,133.70) for proactive improvements to OSS that go beyond merely fixing a known security bug. Google said at the time it would be rolling out the program gradually, and hinted that more project types would be on the way."

    What's the difference between a pizza and a Jew? The pizza doesn't scream when you put it in the oven!

    How was copper wiring invented? Two Jews fighting over a penny!

    What do you call a gay queer faggot Jew? He-blew!

    Did you hear about the new Jewish car? Not only does it stop on a dime, it picks it up!
