Seems, at first glance, this will help the FOSS community. Time will tell what the big plan is though, but so far so good.... I think :wink:

It would be cool if these results could some how be integrated into Nessus and other security scanners in order to customize plugins and validate they are looking for everything that has flaws. The potential to add that value to open source would drive virus and worm fears in Linux out completely and it could truly be marketed that way.
