I think it’s worth pointing out to other readers that while you are focusing on this argument, I already said that Mozilla is likely within the bounds of their rights – my argument had been about the spirit of open source rather than the literal definition. Which is why I said “turns away” rather than other terms.
As I said in my post, I used the Grsecurity anecdote to try to explain the “weirdness” happening here.
