Normally a security director orders this information from independent

Different things. Web based trainings, regular training sessions for

As often, as you want. New hire training is a must. Refresher courses
semi-anually or anually.

If it isn't a must, it wouldn't be effective.

Define EVERY company. One man show? I'm sure, they won't have it. Large

Don't know anything about Sakai. The GPL states very clear, how things
