A developer of some Ruby Gems pulled the code as a statement against certain entities (Department of Homeland Security — DHS) ultimately using the code. Chef gets owned in the process.
ZDNet has a good rundown of the incident:

It seems that developers at chef may have used an old copy of the dev's code to get things back up and running again, which seems like exactly the wrong approach.

And sharing openly is the best way of obtaining control. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmkay. *please stop as you are making me laugh so hard as to risk incontinence*
