Secure Computing:
In the early 1970s the National Security Agency engaged a division of Honeywell's Air Space Defense Group to build what became the first firewall. From that beginning, the company spun off from Honeywell as a stand-alone organization in 1989, moved into the commercial firewall space in 1992,and went public in 1995.
Secure Computing's history
NSA:
"The ability to understand the secret communications of our foreign adversaries while protecting our own communications--a capability in which the United States leads the world --gives our nation a unique advantage."
--NSA Mission Statement.
China:
"As a country, you really have to be in control of your own destiny," Keller says. "They don't want a sole source situation, especially when that sole source is coming from another country.They want to localize the product. And of course, there are issues of security. If you don't have control of the source code,there are security issues to be concerned about. It's a very important decision for them. Linux allows them the freedom to address all those issues."

Does anybody make any non-tech assosciations? It can't be this obvious right?
I mean, while everyone's talking why not bsd, how this is good or bad, contracts, business, bla bla bla........IS EVERYONE BLIND OR SOMETHING....or maybe it's just so obvious, that there's no way it could be......but i can ***guarantee*** that in the event of a real national security threat (like china bombing taiwan--as oppossed to ouzama bin laden), the NSA **will** be in charge.......the NSA is the guarantor of the US's existence. Whether conspiratorial or not, the effect is the same. These people live to destroy any real or perceived threat to national security, even if that threat takes the shape of a global community of programmers. This is about control, and both China and the NSA are steering in their own directions.
