Some people just don't get it
I mean, we are heading towards 2010 , some of us have been using Open Source for decades, the Open Source vs Free Software discussion was like last millenium, and we've been doing open source consultancy for over a decade, yet today companies still think their customers are stupid,
Fancy this story on ZDNet today .. there's actually companies out there claiming that "Bind" because of it's FreeWare nature , yes that's right you've Read FREEWARE , (hadn't heard that word for over 5 years..) , is less secure than their proprietary offering in the Cloud. So the very nature of their Secure product is offering Security by Obscurity in an insecure environment .
The sad part is that they probably get customers that believe their story, afterall it's hosted in the Cloud .. so it must be good not ?
Oh well... James McGovern had a nice comment on that earlier today "
"The goal of the security market is to make money, not to ensure the customer's security"
I'll keep my security infrastructure Open, thank you very much
But afterall everything is a fine DNS Problem ...
