Now, Bruce Perens has written an analysis "exploring the new relationship of Microsoft and the Apache project, how it works as an anti-Linux move on Microsoft's part, and what some of the Open Sourcers are going to do about having Microsoft as a rather untrustworthy partner." In particular, he notes: "...Microsoft can still influence how things go from here on. If they have to live with open source, the Apache project is Microsoft's preferred direction. Apache doesn't use the dreaded GPL and its enforced sharing of source-code. Instead, the Apache license is practically a no-strings gift, with a weak provision against patent lawsuits as its most relevant term. Microsoft can take Apache software and embrace and enhance, providing their own versions of the project's software with engineered incompatibility and no available source, just as they forced incompatibility into the Web by installing IE with every Windows upgrade."<p><a href="http://linux.slashdot.org/story/08/08/01/2214225/Microsoft-and-Apache---Whats-the-Angle?from=rss"><img src="http://apache.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;op=image&amp;style=h0&amp;sid=08/08/01/2214225"></a></p><p><a href="http://linux.slashdot.org/story/08/08/01/2214225/Microsoft-and-Apache---Whats-the-Angle?from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/6eKKbnifroPo9ilkNsCYw-m8JFY/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/6eKKbnifroPo9ilkNsCYw-m8JFY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/6eKKbnifroPo9ilkNsCYw-m8JFY/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/6eKKbnifroPo9ilkNsCYw-m8JFY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApache/~4/zPtRbkuafLU" height="1" width="1"/> Soulskill 2008-08-01T22:57:00+00:00 linuxbusiness answer-in-radians-please linux 433 433,425,358,295,88,50,33 http://linux.slashdot.org/story/08/08/01/2214225/Microsoft-and-Apache---Whats-the-Angle?from=rss http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApache/~3/dsgJYFYEO9Y/Microsoft-Blesses-LGPL-Joins-Apache-Foundation Penguinisto writes "According to a somewhat jaw-dropping story in The Register, it appears that Microsoft has performed a trifecta of geek-scaring feats: They have joined the Apache Software Foundation as a Platinum member(at $100K USD a year), submitted LGPL-licensed patches for ADOdb, and have pledged to expand their Open Specifications Promise by adding to the list more than 100 protocols for interoperability between its Windows Server and the Windows client.

'Google reports that IIS is likely used to distribute malware more often than Apache because many IIS installs are on pirated Windows versions which aren't configured to automatically download patches. (Even pirated Windows versions can automatically receive security fixes, however.) Our analysis demonstrates how important it is to keep web servers patched to the latest patch level,' Google notes."<p><a href="http://it.slashdot.org/story/07/06/08/1745208/Microsofts-IIS-is-Twice-as-Likely-to-Host-Malware?from=rss"><img src="http://apache.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;op=image&amp;style=h0&amp;sid=07/06/08/1745208"></a></p><p><a href="http://it.slashdot.org/story/07/06/08/1745208/Microsofts-IIS-is-Twice-as-Likely-to-Host-Malware?from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/qO-BJ-kFJ_BaKL3OfjehHSiQVc0/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/qO-BJ-kFJ_BaKL3OfjehHSiQVc0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/qO-BJ-kFJ_BaKL3OfjehHSiQVc0/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/qO-BJ-kFJ_BaKL3OfjehHSiQVc0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApache/~4/inFviHhOu4w" height="1" width="1"/> Zonk 2007-06-08T18:22:00+00:00 security consider-the-source it 163 163,162,130,92,19,7,5 http://it.slashdot.org/story/07/06/08/1745208/Microsofts-IIS-is-Twice-as-Likely-to-Host-Malware?from=rss http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApache/~3/ZMfmwkgX8uQ/FSF-Releases-Fourth-and-Final-Draft-of-GPLv3 An anonymous reader writes "The most notable changes found in this latest draft include making GPLv3 compatible with version 2.0 of the Apache license, ensuring that distributors who make discriminatory patent deals after March 28 may not convey software under GPLv3, adding terms to clarify how users can contract for private modification of free software or for a data center to run it for them, and replacing the previous reference to a U.S. consumer protection statute with explicit criteria for greater clarity outside the United States.

The bounty is for a zero-day code execution hole on the following Internet infrastructure technologies: Apache httpd, Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) daemon, Sendmail SMTP daemon, OpenSSH sshd, Microsoft Internet Information (IIS) Server and Microsoft Exchange Server. 'Immunity founder Dave Aitel, who also purchases flaws and exploits for use in the CANVAS pen testing tool, says its doubtful iDefense will get any submissions from hackers. "It's very hard to exploit [those listed applications]," Aitel said. "IIS 6 hasn't had a public remotely exploitable bug in it. Ever." Several other hackers I spoke to had very much the same message, arguing that $16,000 can never equate to the amount of work/expertise required to find and exploit a hole in the six targeted technologies.'"<p><a href="http://it.slashdot.org/story/07/05/18/189208/16000-Bounty-for-Sendmail-Apache-Zero-Day-Flaws?from=rss"><img src="http://apache.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;op=image&amp;style=h0&amp;sid=07/05/18/189208"></a></p><p><a href="http://it.slashdot.org/story/07/05/18/189208/16000-Bounty-for-Sendmail-Apache-Zero-Day-Flaws?from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/xWwf6Z_PYzomLxOHtUc07z0hqUo/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/xWwf6Z_PYzomLxOHtUc07z0hqUo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/xWwf6Z_PYzomLxOHtUc07z0hqUo/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/xWwf6Z_PYzomLxOHtUc07z0hqUo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApache/~4/f9Q64tRPbWg" height="1" width="1"/> Zonk 2007-05-18T19:05:00+00:00 security step-right-up-rilly-big-shew it 173 173,168,131,90,41,19,14 http://it.slashdot.org/story/07/05/18/189208/16000-Bounty-for-Sendmail-Apache-Zero-Day-Flaws?from=rss Search Slashdot stories query http://apache.slashdot.org/search.pl
