There is a pretty famous film made by Michael Moore where he tested exactly this topic (closed doors) in Canada and found out that leaving doors unlocked right away can indeed make more sense than shooting anybody coming in because of own paranoia. If one really does not have the moral insight to understand that you never should harm others' systems only because you feel that it is your right to do so, well, how would you argue with someone like that? Isn't the project all about fighting software that tries to harm your computer _somehow_? I see no signs that the project team feels to have crossed a border line they shouldn't have. And that is even more sad. Nobody beats you for making a mistake. People only beat you for not being able to learn from it and simply say "sorry, we did not foresee the problems we created. This was not our intention. we try to avoid this in the future." Instead they only say "Bad luck. Your fault. Expect equivalent for future releases." There have already been projects in the past that suffered a lot from such a point of view. The ones still alive mostly got forked. Btw, I was not hit by the problem - this time. > [...] > met vriendelijke groet, > > Maurice Lucas -- Regards, Stephan _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
