| admission control (NAC) client, the Cisco Trust Agent (CTA), and
| submit the source code for the software client to the open
| source community, Bob Gleichauf, CTO of Cisco's Security

| This NAC/NAP lovefest would be laughable if it weren't such
| a kick-in-the-teeth to the rest of the industry, enterprise IT, and
| all Internet users. A Cisco/Microsoft oligopoly stalls implementation,
| stifles innovation, and makes the network less secure. In this way, Cisco
| and Microsoft are standing in the way of progress.
