Won't the manufacturers of those phones have to publish the source code?
- ceejayoz 15y agoI doubt that'll be an issue for them. http://www.upi.com/Top_News/Special/2008/03/24/NSA-releases-new-version-of-Linux-software/UPI-99181206371622/ http://www.upi.com/Top_News/Special/2008/03/24/NSA-releases-...
- spot 15y agoif it's used internally within an organization (ie not published or sold) then no. in any case, i expect they will release the source like they did for SELinux.
- naner 15y agoNot if the phones are only used internally. You only have to distribute the code to those who recieve the binaries. That being said, they may open source it for wider use. The NSA and DoD were responsible for the creation of SELinux.
- mburns 15y agoGood security is done in the light. The NSA wrote SELinux, after all. It would make sense for them to encourage this hardened version get used outside of the government.
