> That's not even remotely comparable because that would be fraud or some other crime. I consider work of substandard quality to fall into the same category. Maybe not to the same extent, but still. If I am using software you created for me (that I paid for) and it has a flaw that exposes my data that you could have prevent with proper quality standards, its a fraud for me (in the "unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities" part of definition). > You can safely assume that your open source software are not malware. That's all you get for "free." You get nothing for free obviously. But I assume we all here are getting paid, open source or not.
