It's been linked by me (and others) at times, but PHK's recent talk at FOSDEM[1] is something every engineer needs to see. In the talk, he not only has a well-reasoned warning about OpenSSL months before Hearbleed, but he makes a pretty convincing argument about the "PSYOPS For Nerds" we could be witnessing in this very thread.

Are the nerds about to fix some of the security holes you've been exploiting? Easy; just distract them with yet another "gpl vs bsd" bikeshed argument! They never get tired of it!
