It's interesting that Symantec claims to be denying governments the ability to review code for the safety of their end-users, but won't allow those same end-users the ability to review the code for themselves.
- josephmosby 9y agoIn many cases those governments are the end users. They're buying the same licenses as run-of-the-mill businesses. Furthermore, if you said "well, private users only can review the code," then every government is just going to ask its code reviewers to independently purchase private licenses. There's no way to keep government users out of source code reviews unless you totally block code reviews whole cloth.
