How does this affect exploits?

  That's my first thought. The NSA and CIA probably have all sorts of in-house developed source for all sorts of evil things that they sure won't be sharing.

  From the article: > The new law doesn’t apply to classified code, national security systems or code that would post privacy risks if shared.

  That sounds like a security nightmare. A single accidental exploit in one agency could easily spread to others reusing the same code. Now, imagine if that exploit was instead intentionally planted by a foreign spy, targeting common use cases...

    This is just another form of the "security through obscurity" argument used against foss in general. Many eyes make all bugs shallow.
