    Bonne nouvelle pour les tenants des logiciels libres. La division antitrust du ministère de la Justice américain (Department of Justice) accède à la demande que l'Open Software Initiative (OSI) et la Free Software Foundation (FSF) leur avaient adressée en décembre 2010 concernant le devenir des brevets de Novell. Ce qui ne signifie pas que les deux organismes remportent l'adhésion du DoJ à leurs revendications mais que ce dernier est prêt à leur fournir une oreille attentive. Un premier pas dans la lutte pour la préservation du modèle open source.

FLOSS security linux t08 android iOS iphone quality

shared by Marc Lijour on 24 Jan 11 - No Cached
  • There's no reason to believe that Apple's iPhone iOS is better or worse than Android from a security perspective - at least from the perspective of openness. There may be more fundamental architectural issues to distinguish the platforms but (again) they both have Unix-like heritage, so they both start from a good place.
  • Security quality is disjoint from openness. Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is clearly and famously not less secure than closed / proprietary software - but neither is FOSS necessarily more secure than proprietary.
