Huawei regularly figures in the largest contributors to the Linux kernel. How concerned are you now?

  As Australia, the USA, Germany and others have banned Huawei from deploying 5G over concerns, I will continue to be concerned anytime their name comes up. Judgement, tact, and caution are required. Huawei's main business is just that - a business. The vulnerabilities that may be intentional are a result of the political environment they operate in, just as NSA backdoors supplied by Intel in the past are a result of their political environment, and makes me cautious about trusting without verifying large scale US tech companies. > Huawei regularly figures in the largest contributors to the Linux kernel. I'm afraid I can't verify this statement. They do have plenty of contributions are HiSilicon... But I can't verify that they are one of the largest contributors, in fact their contributions seem dwarfed next to many others.
