It's the gift of open source: Nobody owes you anything except the source code. Any and all guarantees must be via written contracts. Nobody owes you a secure supply chain until there is a contract stating such.
- general1465 7mo agoGiving people food for free (without written contract) but poising them in the process will leave you in hot water with authorities. Why software should be different?
- awakeasleep 7mo agoTrying to answer what I think is the most reasonable point you’re trying to make: supply chain extends beyond you and your actions. What if you were distributing food, and a farmer who supplied rice to one of the manufacturers of the components of your food grew that rice on a field that was contaminated with arsenic?
- general1465 7mo agoIf you will get bad food, who are you going to blame? Very likely the person who you get the food from, not going up the supply chain like a detective.
- pixl97 7mo agoOk, so free software cannot exist is what you're telling us. Hell, I swear Microsoft and Oracle has their lawyers in here posting.
- general1465 7mo agoI am just saying that license, TOS or lack of both is not above the law.
- worthless-trash 6mo agoThat is why the licenses exist, and not reading the license isnt the suppliers problem.
- amtamt 7mo agoWell actually you ate poisoned food made by someone else, which had a similar looking name (typo squatting). Who is responsible here? One who wrote code?
- general1465 7mo agoIt was not me sir who poisoned you, it was Josh, my evil twin! I swear!
