[svlug] DHS review of FOSS for flaws

[Joel Seidman]

This item on Bruce Schneier's blog (http://www.schneier.com/blog/) this morning
should be of interest to FOSS fans.

He cites two articles concerning a review of multiple FOSS projects, sponsored
by DHS, and its results.

(sorry for the longish url's, hope you can piece them together, or start at
Bruce's page)

Apparently the Linux kernel did much better than average.

No time to quote more here, so see the articles.
