[$] Libxml2's "no security embargoes" policy

Date:
Wed, 25 Jun 2025 15:29:28 +0000

Description:
Libxml2 , an
XML parser and toolkit, is an almost perfect example of the successes
and failures of the open-source movement. In the 25 years since its
first release, it has been widely adopted by open-source projects, for
use in commercial software, and for government use. It also
illustrates that while many organizations love using open-source software,
far fewer have yet to see value in helping to sustain it. That has led
libxml2's current maintainer to reject security embargoes and sparked
a discussion about maintenance terms for free and open-source
projects.
