• [$] Libxml2's "no security embargoes" policy

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Thu Jun 26 06:40:07 2025

    Libxml2, an
    XML parser and toolkit, is an almost perfect example of the successes
    and failures of the open-source movement. In the 25 years since its
    first release, it has been widely adopted by open-source projects, for
    use in commercial software, and for government use. It also
    illustrates that while many organizations love using open-source software,
    far fewer have yet to see value in helping to sustain it. That has led libxml2's current maintainer to reject security embargoes and sparked
    a discussion about maintenance terms for free and open-source
    projects.
