Re: OpenSSL vs. LibreSSL (OpenBSD)

An important thing to note here is motive. The Linux Foundation is
housing this "Core Infrastructure Initiative" project, and so they are
the ones who get all the money. "The Initiative's funds will be
administered by the Linux Foundation and a steering group comprised of
backers of the project as well as key open source developers and other
industry stakeholders." So, it might be in the interest of these
people to not necessarily fix bugs. They might be interested in other
things, like ownership. Though, this may be a bit irrational.
