Because it’s a gift to corporations at the expense of taxpayers.
It means that any company can take that code, modify it (as would be required every year per IRS tax changes), and resell it without being required to publish the source code changes.
What many European countries are doing is requiring the government to publish code under a copyleft license. That would allow companies to also benefit from this code to make their own tools (which they could also sell), and it would require them to publish the source code of their improvements.
Basically copyleft legally ensures collaboration. Public domain does not.
Unfortunately it’s not untrue. There are some exceptions to the law.
Either NSA got an exception or their code is public domain
Licensed CC0. Assholes.
Actually, it’s illegal for them to make software copyleft :(
We need to change that law :(
Just whisper gentoo in his ear
When a critical security bug is open for years on a project with plenty of funding to fix it…
They don’t seem to give a shit about security. I think the well is poisoned. Best to just use apt
Flatpak doesn’t verify signatures like normal package managers do
So the issue isn’t that you downloaded a flatpak that included malicious code. The issue is that you downloaded a legit flatpak and ended up downloading malicious code because flatpak doesn’t verify what it downloads
The sand boxing is a distraction and doesn’t matter if you downloaded malicious code
Pretty fundementale broken IMHO. Its a security nightmare
God damn, I’ve needed this for years
Yes; it’s not an OS
Site doesn’t load
Well thats their logic. If you have a lot of cash lying around, they immediately recognize it as an anomolu and therefore assume you’re guilty and the money is illicit.
Its completely legal to not trust banks and keep your savings in cash instead (or some ratio per your risk appetite), but cops generally don’t care about laws.
More people using these shitty package managers means more people will download malware
Unlike apt, this doesn’t require signatures
Ugh, bad news
That’s a social problem that technology can’t fix.
You’re doing it wrong. I want to run a macOS container on Linux
