bout time someone gets to see whats in there. linux and all other vairants have been open source all along.
my favorite quote in regards to the battle of the OS's is:
"buying software without the source code is buying
a car with the hood welded shut. you can't see how it works"Comment

it means anyone can look at how each OS was written (source code)..with that code, anyone can now exploit the crap out of them, which may lead to a whole new race of virii..
btw: this hasn't been completely confirmed yet, so there's still hope that it didn't actually happen..but it's looking pretty grim.Comment

But (if this turns out to be legit) this could open up the door to lots of new ways to go about making viruses and worms and such, ways that hadn't been considered before. And since most of the computing world runs off of Windows, that will only fuel even more the development of exploits.Originally posted by gtrsi
