OpenSSH/Talk

Much better, now the bias is removed. :) Finally.

SIGH! If you take a look at /talk I've linked to the source code of the commercial version. The code is open for everyone to read and validate. The licence doesn't really matter for security, as long as the code is available.

The claims made by Lee Daniel Crocker is _biased_ (!)

I made no claims whatsoever. I reported that what OpenSSH folks claim--and they really do claim this--that openness is important to security. That's a simple statement of fact, that a certain group of people make a certain claim. That's true, unbiased, and I think relevant and important to the article. Whether or not the claim is true is a side issue--if you want to say something about that, go ahead. --LDC

He may have a point though, e.g., if the SSH licence doesn't permit distribution of patches or versions with security fixes applied.

=== From the licence:

"except that You may create patches, bug fixes and additional features and bundle or distribute the Software with certain operating systems as specified above;"

You are explicitly allowed to create and bundle with patches.
