Is grsecurity only commercial?

The grsecurity kernel is mentioned several times when talking about Linux security (e.g. in the Privsec Desktop Hardening Guide).

I have been wondering for some time whether this is only available for companies or whether private individuals can also use it?

It’s currently only for companies as I understand it. They don’t have pricing for individuals.

This thread doesn’t belong to the Meta category, I think it belongs to the Privacy category, Questions subcategory. If someone can fix this or if someone can correct my judgment, that would be appreciated.

I don’t agree with Linus’ opinion. Grsecurity and Spengler are well-respected in the security researcher community.

Hello, first of all: sorry for putting this Thread in the wrong category

That’s very sad :frowning:.

I’ve often heard that the patches were stolen by people, but I didn’t know that it was Linus and his people themselves.
Does anyone know more about this?

The rust thing is particularly messed up.
