Group advocates limited public disclosure of software flaws
A Microsoft-backed security organisation set up almost a year ago has
finally had its formal launch.
Inaugurated last year at the Trusted Computing forum, the Organisation for
Internet Safety (OIS) was charged with creating a set of guidelines for
handling the disclosure of flaws and vulnerabilities in software.
The founders, which included Microsoft, @stake, Guardent, Bindview and
Foundstone, favoured a standard that limited the public disclosure of
security vulnerabilities.
It was announced today that Caldera/SCO, Oracle, SGI, Symantec and Network
Associates have also jumped on board.

If true, one might hesitate before commiting one's stuff to United Linux,
