Open source stuff would disappear.
- sonograph 5y agoI disagree. FOSS and commercially licensed (and sold) software with EULAs are two very different things, and can be distinguished in whatever legal language implements these theoretical liabilities
- swiley 5y agoOpen source is the only stuff that doesn't reliably leave gaping wholes laying around for years because anyone can pay to have them fixed.
- kaba0 5y agoThat’s simply false. I really love open-source but to even imply that it is not a ticking bomb of security is just naive.
- Karunamon 5y agoOpen source stuff is typically distributed with a massive all-caps warranty disclaimer. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.
- matheusmoreira 5y agoWhy? There's a world of difference between a rich corporation marketing and selling products to consumers and developers publishing some code on the web. It is obvious to me that society expects a lot more from the former.
