Specifically, the parts that read: "I offer $500 to the first person to publicly report a verifiable security hole in the latest version of djbdns" AND: "My judgment is final as to what constitutes a security hole in djbdns." It's easy to offer money to your users when only 5 people worldwide use your software. (And I'm convinced at least 4 of them are on this list.) --msa
