Re: FBI accused of planting backdoor in OpenBSD IPSEC stack

Do you think this is more likely to affect an source project rather
than a proprietary one?

I had a short discussion about this the other day with someone, we
came to the conclusion that the software license was irrelevant and it
was more down to the way the project was run, i.e. access control.

What is everyone's thought on this?
