> What's the source of your information that some US government agency has control and/or influence over Linux developers? (I'm not the user you're replying to.) Nothing, frankly. But why can't any agency tell them that red-teaming is a good idea? DHS Cybersecurity is interested in keeping Linux secure, so it will tell them. There's no "American exceptionalism" in the parent comment, just that the US is a pretty influential country and it may want to give its opinion.
