THAT'S why they didn't discuss FreeRADIUS: the commercial people saw a pre-print in which an open source product trounced them, and they probably threated to pull their advertising dollars unless mention of FreeRADIUS was deleted.
Don't know what PC magazine of ZD and others are doing, though ... IMO, FreeRadius is only now beginning to gain momentum in terms of publicity.
Definitely. I'm aware of at least two, and I suspect three, startups which use FreeRADIUS as part of their offerings. Novell has indicated that they're moving away from their proprietary server to FreeRADIUS.
It's certainly got a lot of momentum in UK Higher Education. In a survey of a (non-trivial) number of Universities, at least half were using FR. Radiator is also quite popular throughout UK/European HE (largely due to the excellent commercial support from the Vendor). Apart from IAS, which comes bundled with Windows, the closed-source offerings (Funk, etc) were barely represented.
I don't think FR gets much publicity simply because RADIUS is quite a niche area.
