Re: A different view of the Theo de Raadt funding question

["Joshua Brindle" <JBrindle@snu.edu>]

it strikes me that the other explaination (the article) it totally bogus. It doesn't seem to me that darpa would pull it's grant in midstream because of it's other persuals. If it is darpa's intention to follow up with other implementations like trustedbsd and selinux it seems to me that they would not renew (or offer another grant) but pulling an existing grant in midstream has got to be caused by something a little more drastic, especially since there wasn't even that much left. IMO Theo is an idiot for talking about the government and DoD while recieving a grant from them, talk about biting the hand that feeds you. I appreciate the government for acting the way they did toward someone who obviously wasn't grateful.
