Is Hidden Open Source Code Putting Your Apps at Risk? ------------------------------------------------------------
Many companies are running software on their Web servers that contains open source code with known vulnerabilities, a security firm has found. Software risk management solutions firm Palamida has expanded its Vulnerability Reporting Solution detection capabilities to include 431 open source security alerts.

Do they have to become closed now, to get commercial, to pay the patchmakers? Do they become patched blankets, like M$ software? Is this the beginning of the end of open source? I think not.
Do Palamida has solid proof for this accusations? Or are they just trying to profile themselves? Against open source, on the payrole of M$? Or independent?
Well, if the open source is in products they sell, and it's GPL'ed, they're required to provide the buyer with either the source, or a way to obtain the source (for no more than a no-profit time and materials duplicating cost and shipping) If they don't, then Stallman will probably have a legal team on them in no time. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
