It is not unreasonable of them to conclude that giving money to someone who is opposed to the Defense Department's current number one project may not be in the best interest of our defense. Don't forget what the "D" stands for in DARPA. Promoting the development of secure OSes and tools does not imply that one must fund one specific OS or project. -- Shawn McMahon | Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, EIV Consulting | that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any UNIX and Linux | hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure http://www.eiv.com| the survival and the success of liberty. - JFK -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
