Please enlighten me, why everyone make hype over this #nomorefreebugs initiative? It’s clear for something like 2-3 years in *white market* and for even more years in black market. No more hype over this I would say.

NoMoreFreBugs - is a nice idea, but you expect who to pay for it? vendors? unlikely people like iDefense? they won’t pay for everything.
