Black Duck, the company that virtually came from Microsoft (or a Microsoft veteran), is badmouthing security of Free/libre software again, obviously in order to sell its proprietary software but perhaps to also help proprietary software companies (like Microsoft).

"Black Duck is not part of the Free/Open Source software community but a parasite within it."Black Duck's CEO, according to CRN, "spoke on a panel at the MassTLC Security Conference this week, said open-source components are frequently and easily breached.

"“If you want to know how to exploit open-source [projects], just go to YouTube and you’ll see how to do it. It’s that easy,” he said."

Unlike proprietary software? Are there no YouTube videos about how to exploit or take advantage of holes in proprietary software? Nonsense. Over the years I came across quite a few, including nearly a dozen about Novell's proprietary software (while researching Novell back in the days). The same can be said about the licensing FUD that comes out of Black Duck. Why won't they ever speak of the BSA with its devastating effects that can sometimes bankrupt a business? Black Duck is not part of the Free/Open Source software community but a parasite within it. ⬆
