"According to a BugTraq administrative note, they are no longer able
to publish Microsoft Bulletins. They are copyrighting their bug
reports so that others can not publish them." Bugtraq will continue to
publish the vulnerabilities/bugs, but only the URLs; readers will have
to click to read them. Says a SecurityFocus employee: "As the
copyright holders of the work they have told me in no uncertain terms
that I do not have their permission to redistribute a text version of
their web page bulletins...doing so would be considered an act of
copyright violation."
