Yep - they could have just easily acted like team players instead of egoistic contrarians and joined efforts with the OpenSSL team to help improve OpenSSL along with the original developers. If they did that you'd probably see a lot less criticism today. Instead, they chose to be assholes - and this is their come-uppance.
Nothing says "This codebase is beyond repair" quite like forking a codebase and repairing it.
- vezzy-fnord 12y agoActing like a team player doesn't get shit done. That's not how human relations in free software development work. The improvements of OpenSSL that the LibreSSL team envisioned required such massive code overhauls and deletion of legacy functionality, plus certain modules for FIPS support that were detrimental to security, that there was likely no way to do it all upstream.
