Firebird is alive and secure
The following was sent to Charles Babcock at Information week in reply to an article entitled:
Open Source Code Contains Security Holes
As a developer and administrator of the Firebird Project I completely reject the statement you made in the above article.
“The somewhat moribund Firebird project, for example, is listed with 195 identified defects, of which it has verified zero and fixed zero. The active Firefox browser project, on the other hand,
has fixed 370 bugs, verified 56 and faces another 246 to verify and fix.”
