I am too lazy to contribute a real project. But I know a thing
or two, and I can write legible prose. And I'm paranoid enough
to care about security 8~)

My position is a bit similar, though it's not my installations
(or my money) that is at stake. I would really like it
if Linux went all the way to openess, and then a few
miles more, and still proved to be safe.

Though I can understand if you want to keep LDP far away
from having possible legal trouble:

You could also decide that LDP is too important to risk any
shadiness:

# Death To Virus Writers
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/07/24/1745227&mode=thread

However, in that case I recommend a change of your
mission statement:
