This research implies that the linux team should not be operating on good faith.
A software as critical as linux should not be this easily compromised by a bunch of grads..
It's one of the core technologies of our computing.
Having a discussion around the ethics of this is great but it does not detract from the importance of bigger issue.
- NationalPark 6y agoHey, if people who rely on open source software really believe it's critical, they are more than welcome to hire engineers to audit every line they use a dozen times over. You could find many interested and capable people on this website. But the fact is a great deal of computing (and really "society") runs on an assumption of good faith, and it's just not an interesting discovery that anti-social behavior pisses people off.
