Thanks! But isn't this mean you forbid all Linux distributions (including |
| 12 |
commercial ones like RedHat) to be GrSec/PaX subscribers (in case they |
| 13 |
like to spend some money for it)? I.e. this decision will ensure majority |
| 14 |
of Linux systems will never ever have GrSec/PaX (yeah, in theory some |
| 15 |
RedHat user may subscribe and manually recompile own kernel, but we all |
| 16 |
knows this never happens - at large at least, but very likely at all)? |
