Mozilla CEO: Open source is no monster

Mitchell Baker, speaking at CeBIT Australia 2007 in Sydney earlier this week, destroyed the perception that open-source vendors were just ad hoc organisations. Baker claimed Mozilla was not "Frankenstein", dispelling notions that code is haphazardly thrown together in open-source development.

She also took the chance to bang the security message home, claiming in 2006 Internet Explorer (IE) was vulnerable to attack for 285 days compared to just 9 days for Firefox.
