Open source software had its origins in the free software movement. By now, most open source users understand that free refers to freedom, not to price. The new lesson is that the freedom belongs to the software, not to users. You are not free to do whatever you want with the open source software and may find yourself in a legal fight if what you do restricts the freedom of the software. Many of the things that for-profit companies strive for end up limiting some software's freedom. Any activity that leverages software for business advantage is likely to restrict the software's freedom, and the growing use of open source software by for-profit companies has been a growing irritant for free software advocates.

Last year, we pointed to some patent battles among security software companies, noting how the end result would undoubtedly be less secure computers. As these security firms argued over who thought up an idea "first" and who owed who what amounts of money, you can rest assured that those exploiting the security holes couldn't care any less about who came up with what exploit first. In the constant battle between security firms and malicious hackers, distracting the security firms and having resources devoted to arguing over patents (and paying each other royalties) seems designed to just make it that much easier for malicious hackers to stay that much further ahead, while making it more and more difficult for any security firm to actually provide anything close to comprehensive security.

Software piracy is worsening in the Asia-Pacific region, mainly due to rapid growth in computer purchases in economically booming China, with the trend showing no sign of abating, a global software piracy watchdog warned Wednesday. Despite a decline in piracy in most Asia-Pacific economies, including Japan, the software piracy rate in the region rose to 59% last year from 55% in 2006, meaning that more than half the packaged software products that run on personal computers are pirated, the Business Software Alliance said in its latest software piracy study.

swillden writes "Everyone who pays any attention at all to security, both computer security and 'meatspace' security, has heard the phrase Security Theater. For years I've paid close attention to security setups that I come in contact with, and tried to evaluate their real effectiveness vs their theatrical aspects. In the process I've found many examples of pure theater, but even more cases where the security was really a cover for another motive." swillden would like to know what you've encountered along these lines; read on for the rest of his question below.

If you go to a Borders or Barnes and Noble and check out the computer book section, you will most likely find an entire wall (or two) filled with various information security titles. There are 1000 page tomes dedicated to single topics like cryptography, or VoIP security, or how to secure some version of Microsoft's Windows operating system, and it is important to understand the information and concepts contained in those books. What Joel Dubin delivers in The Little Black Book of Computer Security - 2nd edition, is a compact, concise checklist in outline form that helps remind you of all of the key points you need to remember when implementing information security.
