I was about to suggest a "grsecurity sponsorship funding drive" for IPFire, until I found that sponsorship costs $200USD/month.
I suppose the author would be willing to support other open source projects like IPFire without sponsoring. The problem is companies, but I am pretty sure that Brad Spengler could be contacted to talk about this.
Brad and the PaX team have always been very helpful if we had any issues that may have been related to the patch. I have been reporting build issues with almost every single patch.
This is not much, but at least something that we can give back.
@Michael: As the project lead, would you contact him?
I did that already shortly after I saw the announcement and offered him to get in touch with me if there is anything we can do to help.
I also commented that I do not really approve the approach he has chosen to resolve the issue, but that I certainly understand where he is coming from and that he has my support.
