Votes Tallied on the GPL and the NSA’s Spying

We figure that most FOSSers understand that there are limitations to security while online. We do our best, but when push comes to shove, the Internet is a party line and if the NSA really wants to read your mail and see what sites you visit, there’s not much you can do to stop them, given their massive resources.

However, we prefer the third choice, “I have changed my online behavior somewhat, but not very much.” Here at FOSS Force, we haven’t done much to change our surfing ways, but in “mission critical” situations, we have added a layer or two of precaution. In our poll, 30% or 74 of you chose that option.
