McAfee has no business in Open Source. It's only natural for
McAfee to bash a threat to its revenues. Open Source leads
to malware? They are are merely demonising that they fear.
Symantec, on the other hand, are evolving to to accommodate
change and are now involved in some Linux and Open Source
businesses.
