You would probably expect me to the be last person to say that Sendmail
is perfectly within their rights.  I have had a lot of problems with
what they are doing.

But what did you pay for Sendmail?  Was it a dollar, or was it more?
Let me guess.  It was much less than a dollar.  I bet you paid nothing.

So does anyone owe you anything, let alone a particular process which
you demand with such length?

Now, the same holds true with OpenSSH.  I'll tell you what.  If there is
ever a security problem (again :) in OpenSSH we will disclose it exactly
like we want, and in no other way, and quite frankly since noone has
ever paid a cent for it's development they have nothing they can say
about it.

Dear non-paying user -- please remember your place.

Or run something else.

OK?

Luckily within a few months you will be able to tell Sendmail how to
disclose their bugs because their next version is going to come out with
a much more commercial licence.  Then you can pay for it, and then you
can complain too.
