CNET: Open-source clan in spat with Sun
This article mentions that OpenBSD used strong-arm tactics to influence Sun to provide hardware details. The article says de Raadt says he's been trying for a year to obtain low-level details from Sun about its UltraSparc III chip. "... UltraSparc III features ... are well-suited to OpenBSD's emphasis on security--for example, memory protections that make computers less vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks."
"If Sun says they are open, they need to start acting it."Read the article via CNET's News.com. Also see this mailing list message (which has the original quote above).
