Whilst this is an interesting story and shows how open source software can work it leaves me wondering how large corp's handle their increasing use of open source software. Traditional corporate development is very controlled with everyone getting background checks on hiring and code reviews and change control and a load of other stuff around managing what software runs their business. Into that mix corps are adding loads of software that's developed by people who they have no control over and no knowledge of their motivations, affiliations or skill level. Even if they did a one-time check of all the developers who had contributed to libriaries they use (which would be a huge task) there's nothing to stop any of the maintainers from handing over to someone else the next day. It's even a change from using things like RHEL where there's at least a contract with another company that you could point at if things go wrong... It seems a very odd match up....
