Grsecurity stable patches to be limited to sponsors

The developers of the Grsecurity kernel-hardening patch set have announced that, due to claimed ongoing GPL and trademark violations, the public distribution of the "stable" series of patches will stop. "We decided that it is unfair to our sponsors that the above mentioned unlawful players can get away with their activity. Therefore, two weeks from now, we will cease the public dissemination of the stable series and will make it available to sponsors only. The test series, unfit in our view for production use, will however continue to be available to the public to avoid impact to the Gentoo Hardened and Arch Linux communities."
