   They ship it as part of their product.  That they admited to the =
security flaw and released an update on their own is an acknowlegment of =
responsibility by them.  Are you saying that your employer, sun, does = not
release security fixes for code they ship for which they do not own = the
copyright?  That should scare a good number of people off of sun =
products.

  I was unaware that Redhat is the copyright owner of mutt or GAIM. Who =
owns IE &
  OE?

  So I have adobe pdf viewer for windows on my machine. As such if =
there's a pdf
  for windows security problem then it should be counted as a MS =
security problem
  if the sauce & goose thing holds.
