Let's try to be serious here. Theres funny definitions based on
acronyms,based on everyone's agendas. Some who opposed SNMP called it
"security is not my problem", because of shortcomings in the first version.
Last time I checked, SNMP was mature and used throughout corporate LANs.
Security is a process, not a definitive state. FOSS software is patched all
the time too, and for good reason.

Anyway, enough said I think that by now the original poster's question has
been throrougly answered.

open sourced Java in 2006 but never the browser plugin, that need was
filled by the FOSS community via Icedtea-web)
