And how about KSPP and other similar projects, that tries to continue the idea |
| 4 |
of community-friendly development based on latest release available to wide |
| 5 |
public (or, maybe some other, that was grown in parallel with PaX)? |

I personally very dislike Brad's behaviour. |
| 12 |
Not only closing the source from public. |
| 13 |
Not only blackmail to ban from updates for customers that will public the |
| 14 |
patches. |
| 15 |
But also his trolling against KSPP: |
| 16 |
Firstly he cried they steal his work (yup, steal. OpenSource. Lol). |
| 17 |
Then he stated that he wants that KSPP stated *both* that their work is based |
| 18 |
on Grsec *and* that they have no connection with grsecurity at the *same |
| 19 |
time*. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
So, it looks like he does not really care about Linux Security. He only cares |
| 22 |
about his business. |
| 23 |
Which is against my vision of opensource community principles. |
| 24 |
So, since that time I have no non-offensive words to describe him anymore. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
So, I previously decided to take latest available hardened-sources patchset |
| 27 |
and maintain it (mostly, fix for new kernel releases) locally for my needs, |
| 28 |
until Gentoo Hardened will migrate to KSPP, or KSPP will merge all of the work |
| 29 |
into "vanilla" Linux. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
But since I read this notice, I'm very sad about the destiny of Gentoo |
| 32 |
Hardened. It was the best solution for production servers, imho. But news like |
| 33 |
that makes people think that it (Hardened Gentoo) starts pre-death agonia. And |
| 34 |
that's very and very sad :'( |
