Oh, please. If you want to throw stones about behavior in the Linux kernel you're going to need to throw them at a hell of a lot more people than Grsec - there's decades of shit piled up.
Linus has always been a total blowhard when it comes to... everything, but in particular when it comes to security. I wouldn't take his opinions too seriously on the matter.
The fact is that grsec still maintains the state of the art for memory safety mitigations.
- justinjlynn 8y agogrsec may maintain state of the art, but it doesn't matter if one can't use their code because of the potential for breakage and toxic licensing conditions under which one would have to use it should one choose to do so. I also would not want to support a group which,according to the OSI, violates the spirit of the licence upon which their state of the art work is based - and which certainly violates generally accepted community norms.
