I have "joint property" with my wife and (heaven forbid) if we ever get a divorce there will be a big mess. Who has control of what goes in the data? Who has the responsbility to maintain the data? Your statement sounds lovely but deals with none of the actual complexities in the issue. It does not even detail how this notion of ownership that you have not defined is empowering... -FT What does “joint property” mean?

I think the reason that open source has been hurt by this more than others might be is that geeks are generally offended by the notion of automatic updates. So they do not build automatic updates into thier applications directly and instead rely on aggregation projects like Ubuntu/Fedora to do this work.. -FT good point!! but that applies so much to software generally.

It's not regularly updated. I think my source was a Palamida study. Since major open source projects don't force updates on all registered users, and many users aren't even registered anyway, many people are running old code that may have been compromised.
