Why would it matter that the thing being sabotaged is "completely visible, auditable , and reviewable"? Do you have any specific laws in mind that you think would not apply? If you were referring to the malicious code being contributed, not to the open source project as a whole, I don't think "completely visible" is an accurate description of the deliberately obfuscated chain of m4 gobbledygook and binary blobs that makes up the backdoor.
