It may soon be that the only companies who can sell hardware outside of their own country are those who sell Open Source Hardware which can be 100% verified as true to its published design.

That would be a very, very good outcome, IMHO. Use espionage fears to push forward other objectives, like open source.
- ars 8y agoHow would that help? SuperMicro was not able to verify that what they designed and ordered is what was shipped. What makes you think that just because it's open source, that that would change? i.e. the design is "Open Source" to SuperMicro - but it didn't help them.
