| schestowitz[TR2] | the developers had claimed it found thousands of 0-days. | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ... | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Gerrity decided to put Anthropic's bold claims to the test and | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | examined the CVE registry, which contains more than 327,000 | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | entries. He searched for all records containing the word "Anthropic" | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | starting from February 2026 and manually analyzed the results. | May 10 06:48 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | On April 7th Jim Zemlin of the Linux Foundation made a statement | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | on Project Glasswing. | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/project-glasswing-gives-maintainers-advanced-ai-to-secure-open-source | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The message is addressed primarily to "open source" developers. | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Zemlin understands that they suffer from limited resources and says | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that Project Glasswing would be a blessing because "AI" would assist | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | arduous security-related work. He speaks of providing Claude | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | access to "open source" developers, even going on to suggest that | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | such access would entice people to accept maintainer roles. | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | There are several problems. The above was posted on April 7th. | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | A month has passed but maintainers are generally unaware of this | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | proclamation. The Linux Foundation has not issued any further | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | statements, indicating an absence of notable progress. | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | There are many free software projects that maintain critical system | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | components. Compiling a comprehensive list is a significant task. | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Any attempt to determine who shall be let in and who shall be kept out | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | should lead to noisy debate, which we currently do not observe. | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I believe Jim Zemlin's plan to make Claude available to a large number | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | of "open source" developers is at odds with the desires of Project | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Glasswing member firms. Glasswing is promoted as a small and tight | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | group while Zemlin calls for throwing the gates wide open. Without | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | resolving this conflict the Linux Foundation cannot make progress. | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Linux is the name of a kernel, and the Linux Foundation is built | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | around kernel developers. Many people wrongly believe that "Linux" is | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the whole OS and do not understand that the Linux Foundation has | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | absolutely no authority over developers of other OS components. In | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | fact many developers are not interested in the Linux Foundation and | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | pay scant or no attention to announcements on their official website. | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | In contrast when ordinary people hear that the Linux Foundation is a | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Glasswing member, they assume that developers of the "Linux OS" would | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | be given ample time and resources to deal with security issues. | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Unfortunately this is not the case. A dangerous gap between reality | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and perception thereof exists. | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | --- | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | If we want to compile a list of critical system components, where do | May 10 06:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | we start? The Debian Popularity Contest may be the starting point: | May 10 06:48 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Without bending over backwards to defend the Linux Foundation, I'll point out that the 97% number means very little -- the percentage that actually matters is the percentage that doesn't go towards funding open source at all. The Linux Foundation hasn't been solely about Linux for decades; they are (facially) responsible for hosting a very large number of open source projects. | May 10 11:39 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Perhaps the "billionaire sympathizers" are people who can manage to see that the bar for what is considered an unacceptable amount of wealth will keep being revised lower and lower until it affects them.
