Yeah, that won't work. spender and PaX team have made the experience |
| 8 |
that if they publish their code under whatever license, some tech |
| 9 |
companies will come along and use the code without giving a shit about |
| 10 |
said license. That's one of the reasons why the 'stable' grsec patch |
| 11 |
series, as well as their git repository, hadn't been public for quite a |
| 12 |
while even before they made the decision to stop publishing code |
| 13 |
altogether. |

@Bob: The Gentoo Hardened project is aware of minipli's efforts, but it |
| 16 |
has been decided not to make his tree available as an ebuild |
| 17 |
in ::gentoo for now. |

Since all a kernel ebuild does is to dump the sources in /usr/src, it |
| 20 |
doesn't make much of a difference anyway, but if someone wants to |
| 21 |
create an ebuild in their overlay, they're of course welcome to do so. |
