It’s crazy how much trust plays a factor in the success of open source. And if that trust is eroded, the whole system comes crumbling down.

  I'd say this is the case in the broader society, too. Companies paying after the service is rendered, delivery services not having to be escorted by armed guards, being sure that a random worker won't poison the food on the production chain, etc

  When I worked on Radar software (over a decade ago) they were very hesitant to use open source packages and such. Like everything there, there was a process that had to be followed. We'd have to vet the source and such and then bring it over to the development network. I don't think anyone did. When I was leaving they were looking to run new projects on Linux (from the proprietary unixes we were running) so I'm not sure how that would work. I'm guessing that's where the linux vendors fees come in.
