What is this. Is The Open Group now selling security patches only to their members? I asked the XFree86 people. They have received no communication from TOG about this at all. I think this is extremely bad ethics on the part of TOG to publish information on a security problem and then only give fixes to people who have given them money.
For once, I agree completely with Theo. It was bad enough that TOG decided to turn X into proprietary software -- saying that security patches for back revs are proprietary is nearly unacceptable behavior. Perry
