Just what we need...open source garbageware...
The open source communities (IE Sourceforge) should not allow such crap to enter the internet. |

Huh? "Open Source Communities" is about as concrete a concept as "users of the internet", and just because I participate in open source doesn't mean that I have anything to do with anybody else who claims to be part of that movement.
There is no central registrar for anything like "open source".

The legitimate open source communities have nothing to do with this. It's all underground. Malware writers are simply sharing their source code, so others can use it. This is why there are so many Bagle, Netsky and Mydoom variants.

I meant the legit communities should keep the crapware away from the legit stuff if someone tries to submit a scumware app/source code to SF. |
