"The key difference with open source software is that such an attempt will be found and extirpated. Borland's Interbase SQL-server had an inbuilt back-door which exposed possibly hundreds of thousands of computers and confidential data-stores to malicious attack. http://lwn.net/Articles/85796   (611 words)      cfxweb - Half Life 2 Source Code Leak Confirmed More worryingly the source code seems to contain a lot of source code from partner software developers that Valve had licensed to use in Half- life 2, such as the Havoc physics engine, and that Valve is contract bound to keep protected and confidential. Valve will run a compiler on the source code every so often, creating a bunch of executable files (machine code based) that can then be used to run the game and test the changes made to the source code. As such, the fact that the source code is in the public domain does not mean that anyone can compile a working game out of it, as all the resources are missing as well as a few other code elements. http://www.cfxweb.net/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2136   (3544 words)      Open Source Security Unlike proprietary software, open source software does not make the underlying code of a software confidential. Raymond's suggested solution is to develop mission critical software with the effects of open source code in mind, the fact remains that software originally designed for a closed source environment may not fair well if subsequently released in open source format. Systems with source code freely accessible to the public are required to allow their inspection by the State itself, by the citizens, and by a large number of independent experts throughout the world. http://www.softpanorama.org/Security/oss_security.shtml   (15467 words)      Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution Before they released their new Open Source license, Troll Tech provided me with a copy for auditing, with the request that it be kept confidential until they could announce it. Businesses are adopting the Open Source model because it allows groups of companies to collaborate in solving a problem without the threat of an anti-trust lawsuit, and because of the leverage they gain when the computer-programming public contributes free improvements to their software. But the most reliable indication of the future of Open Source is its past: in just a few years, we have gone from nothing to a robust body of software that solves many different problems and is reaching the million-user count. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/perens.html   (7288 words)      Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution Before they released their new Open Source license, Troll Tech provided me with a copy for auditing, with the request that it be kept confidential until they could announce it.

"That the source code is capable of such compilation, however, does not destroy the expressive nature of the source code itself," the court ruled, therefore the injunction counts as a prohibition of free speech. The court did note, however, that if said source code were compiled to create a program, the "expressive" nature of the code would be lost. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/vnunet/news/2116458/source-code-free-speech   (540 words)      Open Source Initiative As results of these activities, we believe that shortly a piece of closed source software solution will be released under OSS license (name of the product and organization must remain confidential at this time, but will be made public, as soon as product is released under new license model).

File this under shed no tears:New York Times reporter Judith Miller was jailed Wednesday for refusing to divulge a confidential source to a grand jury investigating the Bush administration's leak of an undercover CIA operative's name. July 6, 2005 · New York Times reporter Judith Miller was jailed Wednesday for refusing to identify a confidential source to a grand jury investigating a leak... Miller is absolutely determined to be a "martyr" for her views as to what she thinks the law ought to be (but clearly isn't); and to the question of whether she's been released from any commitment of confidentiality that she ever made, she just refuses to take "yes" for an answer. http://justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2005/07/judy_miller_pro.html   (8199 words)      Halloween documents - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Marked "Microsoft confidential", they identify open source software (OSS), and in particular the Linux operating system as a major threat to Microsoft's dominance of the software industry, and suggest ways in which Microsoft could disrupt the progress of open source software.

Together, these documents demonstrate Microsoft's continued awareness that its open-source competitors are a potential threat to its livelihood in the software industry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_documents   (701 words)      Journalism sourcing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Some courts have upheld the sanctity of the informal privacy agreement between a journalist and his/her sources as a matter of unofficial confidence, in the belief that the confidential nature of the journalist-source relationship underpins the existence of a free press. Communications between a source and a journalist can be governed by a number of terms of use, which have developed over time between journalists and their sources, often government or other high-profile sources, as informal agreements regarding how the information will be used, and whether the identity of the source will be protected. In some cases, courts will break the notion of reporter-source privilege, and demand a reporter reveal their source under pain of contempt of court. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_(journalism)   (2013 words)      Sun gives NFS component to open source world – sort of The Register SISSL makes source code available to developers, and they are allowed to "modify and distribute source code and derived binaries freely."

Given the statutory language that a source ``which may reasonably be anticipated to cause or contribute to visibility impairment'' is subject to BART,\23\ a lower threshold may be appropriate as it would effectuate Congress's intent that the BART applicability test not establish a high hurdle. This is a natural breakpoint at which to set the exemption level, since visibility degradation may begin to be recognized by human observer at this extinction level.\21\ Thus, we are proposing a 0.5 deciview change as the threshold for determining that an individual source is causing visibility impairment at a Class I area. http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-AIR/2004/May/Day-05/a9863.htm   (2013 words)      MR. ROVE AND THE ACCESS OF EVIL Tell us your "source," Judy Judy, Karl Rove ain't no "source." A confidential source -- and I've worked with many -- is an insider ready to put himself on the line to blow the whistle on an official lie or hidden danger. Maybe the problem for The Times is that this is the same "source" that used Miller to promote, as fact, her ersatz report before the invasion of Iraq that Saddam truly had nukes and bugs and chemicals he could launch at Los Angeles.

Drudge’s protection of a dishonest source puts him at odds with established journalistic practice and common decency.

The "misappropriation theory" holds that a person commits fraud "in connection with" a securities transaction, and thereby violates §10(b) and Rule 10b-5, when he misappropriates confidential information for securities trading purposes, in breach of a duty owed to the source of the information. Second, §10(b)'s requirement that the misappropriator's deceptive use of information be "in connection with the purchase or sale of [a] security" is satisfied by themisappropriation theory because the fiduciary's fraud is consummated, not when he obtains the confidential information, but when, without disclosure to his principal, he uses the information in purchasing or selling securities. http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=search&court=US&case=/us/000/96-842.html   (909 words)      RSA Reply re Non-Infringement The information RSA seeks to protect includes computer source code, marketing stategies, license agreements, royalty rates, product development plans and other similar confidential business and proprietary information.

The reporters told the judge yesterday they were prepared to spend four months in jail rather than answer questions about their confidential government sources. That seemed to imply that Cooper's notes will either include the name of his source or somehow point obviously to the source's identity. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/30/AR2005063000205.html   (618 words)      Democracy Now!

Liberty Newspapers Limited Partnership Liberty News's actual notice that the petition was confidential is irrelevant to the application of the holding of Florida Star to preclude imposition of civil liability.
