Um, some of us aren't debating that BIND has had insecurities in the past. I
do argue that it has a process to find holes. My disagreements are with djb's
philosophy and mistatements and attitude. Yes, the code is well-written (I
did download it). I just don't like people telling me how _I_ should do
something. And people arguing that their licenses are "as good as"
(paraphrased) Open Source because the user can go elsewhere and grab patches
to apply (why should I have to apply them?) . Or calling me a "hypocrite"
because I prefer Open Source / DFSG compatible licenses (and yes, the author
gets to choose the license, I'm not arguing with that, but the attitude that
comes across in his writing).
And I did post pointers to BIND alternatives.
I think I'm dropping the topic now. We've beaten it to death.
