Takeing rights, assuming the use of Linux or other *nix varient they chould use ipfwadm and set it to disable ICMP packets at boot up, DoS problem solved.
Here is were R. M. Stallman has the right to get mad. Every one seems to think that Open-Source means Free. NO! Eric Raymond even said that he started the Open-Source Software Group it was because the anti-business undertones were stopping the spread of the message. see Maximum Linux - May/June - Rebels With a Cause. Copyrights and even patents are being placed on code this can be seen in recent events, amizon.com, with one click shopping. Even with Microsoft and the Kerberos standard, the information was there if you treated it as a trade secret, so could be done with the source code (aren't EULA's fun;-)) So no nothing is there to say that just because you let people see the source code that they can use the source code in anyway against Microsoft. Stopping it from being used against them. So is there a better reson to keep the source code closed. Really, really bad code?, Secret collective conscience?, The reson behind Rob's Secret Debian Fetish (GIS)? There has got be a reson!
