Purposely making worse software is not how you make friends.
Whether or not it is a good/wise idea, I can not judge.
However, only by FUD-mongers and the irrational can "prevent any parts of it from being used together with non-free software" be interpreted as "Purposely making worse software".
US banks must think that their existing fraud prevention infrastructure is up to the task. (We had people fraudulently use our credit cards twice, and even though I check my CCs regularly, the banks contacted me both times within hours of the incidents.)
Anyway... 1) One of my CCs was just switched to Chip & PIN. 2) "Our new paper shows that it is possible to create clone chip cards which normal bank procedures will not be able to distinguish from the real card." https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2014/05/preplay_attack_.html
if someone uses a stolen card with your name, that's your problem, not theirs. You have to _prove_ that you didn't buy that item, or else you're on the hook.
Must be Europe, since it's sure and hell not like that in the US!!!

purely on the Air Force's end, right?
Or NASA.

I very rarely comment on bad grammar, so no, I don't think I am.
IOW, you're spewing anti-GPL FUD.
So what? This is not news for nerds.
For all intents and purposes, "For all intensive purposes" makes *zero* sense.
do as we say or else and as long as you are acting within the confines of its barbed wire fence you are fine and free to do as you will.
Every society is like that. The "only" difference is how tightly closed is the fence. Otherwise, it's anarchy, and adults know that's bad.
Something about wanting to keep the wrong sort of developers out.
Naturally: citation or you're just spewing more GPL FUD.
That would be a victory for Apple and a defeat for freedom.
So... the forces of GPL freedom need to step up their game.
Software in the Public Interest is in a unique place to act as an information clearing house, conduit and "amalgamator" for this problem.
Why would he mysteriously need money when everything is free?
Your misunderstanding of Free software is... staggering.
are we sure he's not pocketing the money?
I'm sure that he is pocketing it, then quickly depocketing it for mortgage/rent, food, heat, transportation, etc, etc ad nauseum.

Because other people will use weak passwords, and make the site vulnerable. Heck, the bank might *mandate* weak passwords.
What bank, and why do you still use it?
Simple solution: name names and vote with your feet.
The worst part is that these people vote for the people that lead my country.
I would suggest that security should be the top priority ahead of everything else.
This to a country (world, really) where Windows in the dominant desktop OS?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
My morale isn't that low. But I'm pretty phlegmatic...
Or does he have a gender issue?
Maybe he's pals with Bruce Jenner...
Run by women, not so great revenue per employee.
But how many? Specifically, what tiny proportion? (Since otherwise, the Ancient Greeks would have discovered them.)
Has our educational system sunk so low that it must be mentions that you need a microscope to see bacteria?
Naturally, the only response possible is, "citation, or it didn't happen."
T&C can't overrule laws specifying who has standing. But we'll see; maybe she actually does have standing here.
