Free software will be ok with giving the credits to those who deserves. PaX/Grsecurity has been contributing significant mitigation technology for linux kernel and meanwhile the whole FLOSS community gets benefit from it. I couldn't imagine the world without PaX/Grsecurity especially in those 0ld horrible days. KSPP is a very good starting point to improve vanilla kernel security. But I have to admit that what most work( until now) of KSPP is try to re-build( development from scratch or backport some features from PaX/Grsecurity directly) what PaX/Grsecurity has already done for years:

Linux foundation may not care about real sense of security. The "work", which can do PR might become the benchmark to them;-)
