I read that article. The whole "upstream/KSPP takes and gives nothing back" narrative is complete nonsense.

grsecurity takes... the entire rest of the kernel from upstream. Guess what's more important, the grsec patch, or everything else?

PaX team/Spender could've create those mitigations for other OS or just sell their stuff to big corps but they didn't, did they?

Linus could've made Linux closed source and sold it to a big corp but he didn't did he?

Linus could've do that. But I'd still have some other options( GNU/Hurd?). But I don't have any other option to hardening my machine now.

Linux wasn't a usable option on day 1 (and Hurd didn't exist), and KSPP isn't a great option on day 1. It'll be as good as grsec in due time

You can only blame spender for *taking away* your ability to harden a machine *before* KSPP/upstream had all the same features.

And that is *exactly* what he wants. He's playing people like you to build drama against KSPP, because he realized he's losing control.

If he cared about the security of the world, he would've waited. But he doesn't. He only cares about being the only option.

you mean spender should wait for another 16yrs? Come on, the singularity is near. What would be fun until then?

I have more faith in the community than you do ;) (also, believe it or not, other people have better security ideas than grsec sometimes)
