Looks like somebody is trying hard to prevent LibreSSL from becoming widely adapted.
> By raising funds at a neutral organization like The Linux Foundation, the industry can effectively give projects the support they need while ensuring that open source projects retain their independence and community-based dynamism.
I somehow can't imagine an organization named "Linux Foundation" to give money to OpenBSD and other non-Linux related open source projects.
- gnu8 12y agoIf the money was given to the Linux Foundation by Microsoft, I guess anything goes.
- angrybits 12y agoI think you're over-thinking it. I imagine this was done solely in response to heartbleed itself, not OpenBSD's fork. It's a good charter, I'm happy it's being done.
- danielweber 12y agoYes, they've obviously been working on this announcement for a few weeks. You can't get all those big players on board in the time since libressl was announced.

I could imagine them giving money to OpenSSH developers at least, seeing how it is part of the core infrastructure. Also, would you have imagined Microsoft giving money to an organization named "Linux Foundation" ?
