Posted 29 Mar 2005 by rillian (Master)

Artifex Software, Inc. is pleased to announce a new Bug Bounty Program!

Earlier programs were quite successful, but since the 8.50 stable release we've accumulated a number of new boutiable bugs, so we're starting the program up again. As before we're paying US $500 for bugs marked bountiable in the tracker; $1000 for those set with priority P1 or P2! So if you're a coder, here's your chance for a little extra cash.
