Very excited to see this. I used to work at Yahoo. This is a serious team with serious tech.

When this project was first published, the name of the company that published it was AOL. Before that, the company was called America Online. Subsequently it was named Oath, and no…

They do an amazing job keeping it secret too. Can't even find them on the contributor list https://github.com/aol/moloch/graphs/contributors

Moloch is free. :-)

Preach Brother! Moloch is a serious open source project, run by serious people who care about network security. They published their code under an open source license, showing off …

You can see https://www.verizonmedia.com/our-brands to see the collection of online brands in the family. You might use lots of these brands today without really noticing. There's …

I fixed that for you https://github.com/aol

According to my sources, DARPA wasn't involved in any of the child sacrifices, but they might use Moloch to help secure their networks.

Naming open source projects is a challenging task. The team hears this all the time, but hey, open source is about code you can use, a community you can join to make the code bette…

Sorta like https://www.wireshark.org/ . But Moloch is a very active project, used by many, and used internally at Verizon Media. Aol is part of Verizon Media (which brought AOL and…

oops, thanks. I meant to disclose my affiliation, not disclaim it.

FWIW, there was a research team at Yahoo who would actually get insights about the way people used language (relevant for contextual search) from Yahoo Answers. They were more acti…

"Vespa is the single greatest piece of software Yahoo ever built. It's like ElasticSearch but a hundred times better. I am so happy." Laurie Voss Co-founder/COO of @npmjs https://t…

My job is to manage the open source process for Oath (which is essentially Yahoo + AOL). That includes helping ensure we can publish code like this and the hundreds of other projec…

Some companies make money by licensing software. They are less willing to publish code since, to them, code is revenue and they don't want to give it away. Internet-media companies…

Note: TFoS is also a Yahoo open source project. The teams work together. https://github.com/yahoo/TensorFlowOnSpark

Proprietary code is expensive to maintain. Even though there's a dedicated team of a few dozen people that has been working on Vespa over the years there are thousands of developer…

The Register did a good job describing the dichotomy between the product business and the tech side of the business here, related to a previous open source project Yahoo published …

Thanks, I came to a similar conclusion and shared it here (in case anyone wishes to see or comment). I'm not a lawyer, btw. https://www.quora.com/Are-GitHubs-new-terms-of-services-…

The ToDo Group has stopped working on the Open Code of Conduct and suggests to use an existing code of conduct.

Thanks. It's hard to measure what I can't see. Many companies do participate in open source, but it's hard to notice all the activity since there is just way too much going on in s…

I see this as one of the fundamental problems with the AGPL/Apache licensing patterns. The company can create an Apache driver, but it's not clear when a member of the community cr…

So far, AGPL has not been tested in court. GPL has. The scope of Derivative Works (reach) has as well (but the case law in this area is more complicated than most open source devel…

Dear jmillikin Let me make a helpful suggestion that is purely intended to be for your benefit (and if you work for a company, it would significantly help them too): contact an att…
