Tech giants, chastened by Heartbleed, finally agree to fund OpenSSL

<< < (2/2)

Edvard:
Well, since it's all being managed by the Linux Foundation, apparently none.  From the article (emphasis mine):

The funding will not come with strings attached, Zemlin said. “We definitely want to help them, but it has to be done under their community norms,” he said. “The folks at OpenSSL are guys who have dedicated most of their adult careers to super hard software development that is, I would argue, in some ways thankless work.”
...
The Linux Foundation believes that open source developers should be their own bosses, regardless of who provides their funding. “Linus Torvalds does not listen to Jim Zemlin. That's intentional,” Zemlin said.
