Right, that's why they gave away their work for free for decades?

  What's why?

    You're implying that Grsecurity's incentive to be safer than upstream means they won't cooperate. But Grsecurity made their patches freely available for the vast majority of their existence. I think it just shows ignorance of the situation to imply that they're only interested in making money.

I didn't say anything about whether they made their patches freely available or not. Not sure what that has to do with what I wrote. > I think it just shows ignorance of the situation to imply that they're only interested in making money. I didn't imply that. I said they have a vested interest in perception of being more secure than upstream. Which they do. Replying with vague snark and going off on some wild tangent imagining things that I never implied isn't helpful if you can't address what I wrote. I didn't say anyone is to blame as such, nor does grsecurity have any requirement or moral duty to put effort into upstreaming their work. But if you look at the motivation there is a pretty reasonable explanation why they have not done so, in my opinion that's more reasonable and likely than the idea that it's upstream being particularly unfair or uncooperative to this one group.
