| subject: | US Gov sez: Open Source enables terrorists |
From: Mike '/m' http://64.90.164.50/article.php3?sid=20030422123107 === It seems that as more pressure is applied to the story, more facts are coming out about the whole DARPA cancellation of funding. Theo just posted a message which contains a quote from a DARPA spokesperson on the subject which states that the U.S. government is concerned that Open Source enables terrorist nation-states. ... === A most interesting development. I guess this means that security-challenged Microsoft software does not enable terrorist states? Or maybe there really *are* NSA keys in Microsoft security software, and that is why the US government is not concerned about the encryption capabilities contained in Microsoft software. In any case, this is frightening at best... /m --- BBBS/NT v4.01 Flag-4* Origin: Barktopia BBS Site http://HarborWebs.com:8081 (1:379/1.45) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 @PATH: 379/1 106/1 2000 633/267 |
