No, the straw man argument you constructed and I in no way implied is not really a good argument.

This kind of shooting-the-shit content is a small subset of what makes the web useful. You are not spending time and money investigating anything of consequence and then reporting it for free, are you? Few people are. We all need to make a

I don't use Windows. Seems a little clunky to get it to work on Linux, even more so on the Mac. Haven't had any multiple-ancestry issues with SourceTree - perhaps resolved in an update since you encountered it?

This isn't a fine, it's just the cost of not changing a security culture. Just some statistical noise on the balance sheet of a billion-pound corporation, nothing to concern oneself with if you're upper management.
