This is a stunt by Green Hills Software, a maker of embedded operating systems and programming tools. You might be interested to know that they initiated a public relations campaign decrying the use of Linux as insecure: https://lwn.net/Articles/83242/ https://lwn.net/Articles/83242/ Here's an article by the very same Dan O’Dowd: "Linux: unfit for national security?" https://web.archive.org/web/20040912190752/http://www.ghs.com/news/eet4817_final2.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20040912190752/http://www.ghs.co... https://web.archive.org/web/20040916074333/https://www.ghs.com/linux/unfit.html https://web.archive.org/web/20040916074333/https://www.ghs.c... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Hills_Software https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Hills_Software

If I'm not mistaken the Green Hills "Integrity" OS is used in HP's iLO which has some [1] interesting [2] flaws [3]. Maybe these are all HP's fault, maybe they are partly due to the way "Integrity" works but it would be highly surprising if "Integrity" is indeed blameless. So, "Integrity, unfit for national security" and "Integrity is insecure" are probably just as "true" as the statements made by the above gentleman.
