You can't view community policy and government regulation as two unrelated things. The aviation community has a more welcoming attitude because of government regulation.
They know that someone's backyard airplane isn't ever going to be used commercially without certification, and even if it were the entire world's aviation fleet isn't going to start using that model overnight, as might happen with some homebrew crypto and a popular new app. So the situation is entirely unanalogous.
- lisper 9y agoNo, that's not true. The aviation community's welcoming attitude goes way back before the government started to regulate it. I'd say it's because aviation began as a homebrew activity whereas cryptography was born in the military and academia.
