I'm not saying they should not be required, as I have not thought about this deeply, but in whichever way I imagine this playing out, it seems likely to lead to situations in which people are using some device with a lot of security vulnerabilities that were made much easier to find and exploit once the code was opened up.
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoAn unmaintained device was always going to be a security problem; at least with open code and a way to install it there's a way to patch problems after the vendor stops providing fixes.
- dwg 3y agoI'm on the same page, but was wondering if there would be any concern about liability on the part of the company that released the code (mandatorily, as suggested).
