I don't see "Them" ceding any power or capabilities. Nor do I see any long term solutions to this situation that don't cause worse problems in the future. Which is a shame, since there are other serious issues that will continue to be neglected till things do get really worse. Call me cynical, but I've read too much history in my life.

I'm all for OSS. I believe this is going to cause a lot more people to take it and security seriously.
