First post here, not sure if this is the right forum. Let me know if not.
From the article:
"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is extending the scope of
its protection to open-source software."
...
"The list of open-source projects that Stanford and Coverity plan to
check for security bugs includes Apache, BIND, Ethereal, KDE, Linux,
Firefox, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OpenSSL and MySQL..."

Ted Unangst (and Peter Hessler) work at Coverity. Various bugs have
allready been found by their tool and fixed in OpenBSD.
