Most critical fixes are small. Number of lines is not a measure.

Number of lines is not a measure of criticality. It *is* a measure of originality. A one-line fix can be rediscovered many times.

Everything can be discovered independently, that's not the point.

The point is that if it *is* then no credit is expected or required, and that is *likely* for changes like this.

No. The point is that for a (security) fix, if it was already fixed, it's just natural to give credit when pointed out.

1) I disagree, 2) the problem wasn't refusing credit after it was pointed out; Spender got angry that there was no *initial* credit.

Fine, you disagree. I won't insist, I come from a different culture and I would have deeply apologized for missing the original fix

In my opinion, fixing an isolated bug like that and *not* reporting it upstream is the real sin here.

Think about it: if instead of reporting that grsec DoS I'd just fixed it in my own fork and demanded credit if grsec fixed it later?

Have you done anything else in the world beyond that D.o.S.? BTW, they would have given you credit.

Why are you going back to personal attacks? I'm obviously using that as an example we're both familiar with.

You've a weird definition of "personal attacks" given the degree of tweet aimed at spender that you write. (I know your beef started there)
