 The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is extending the scope of its protection to open-source software.Through its Science and Technology Directorate, the department has given $1.24 million in funding to Stanford University, Coverity and Symantec to hunt for security bugs in open-source software and to improve Coverity's commercial tool for source code analysis...
