Again with the misleading article titles from Silicon.com. CVS stands for 'Concurrent Versions System'. It is used for keeping track of source code and source code changes and happens to use a database to store the information. It does not make it an 'open source database' just because it uses a database. Otherwise you could call Apache Web Server(open source) an open source database because it has a database backend. This is misleading because it looks like MySQL and PostGRESql or other open source databases have security flaws. THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS ARTICLE IS ABOUT!!!!!
