Wait; he was pissed that F5 wanted to treat something as a security issue where he “and the developers” (citation needed) wanted to treat it as a normal bug. So, the “evil corporate overlords” wanted to fix something via hotfix-release, while he wanted the fix to be shipped later with a regular release?

So the company wanted — just so I get this straight — to fix a thing sooner, and therefore they are evil. They wanted to provide something that benefited users sooner and… how exactly does that make them worthy of scorn? guys, help me out, what am I missing here?

No, the guy is the original developer of nginx, he fucking is nginx. F5 took over nginx through legal battle stating that Dounin has worked on Nginx on work time, which he denies. There was even a police raid against nginx in Russia.

All wrong. Original developer of nginx was Igor Sysoev, and his employer who sued him was Rambler.
