Prev-Msg Prev-Thread Security-basics May-2008 Next-Thread Next-Msg Subject: Why open source software is more secure Group: Security-basics From: sapran Date: 8 May 2008 The main goal of a software vendor is not to bring you a _good_ product, but to sell it you. That is the only truth about that. That's why the product might be fully featured, nicely decorated and published on time: the vendor is economically motivated to make it this way. But there's no sense to make it secure and stable because the only motive for this is liability which does not exist software industry. There are two ways for things to become better. The first one is fully described by Bruce Schneier it his "Secrets and Lies", the top book to be read by all 'connected' folks. Its increasing of liability to the level of its presence in other industries, for ex. banking or plane building. And there is another, more utopic, to ignore the business motives during the process of software development. It may remind you the methods of decreasing of unemployment proposed by Marks: to remove market economy at all. But this is a topic to be thought out I guess, so your comments are welcome.
