It sure sucks that device makers just have to wait and hope someone writes free firmware. If only they had some way to cause the firmware to be written, perhaps involving things like "money" or "employees" or "contr

Exactly. If we paid people to maintain log4j, they'd try to justify their existence by writing more code and shipping it in log4j. But log4j doesn't need more code to be secure, it needs dramatically LESS code! The correct answer
