well you can learn to code ,read the code and see if it does anything dodgy?With open source you can believe that people have review the code of the software that you use and does what it supposed to do and not something else, it demands faith and optimism.
Linux is as close to science as it is to religion because of the leap of faith that it demands
I can therefore state that Linux and open source in general it's a modern cybercult
2) probably covers most of what Richard Stallman wantedOthers have already said somethings. I would add a couple that are important to me.
1. With open source people can see the code and know if it's corrupted. (with viruses, ETC.)
2. You can edit the code and change it if needed without violating laws.
They say that even the most knowledgeable they can't review Linux individually, even them they have to have faith to each other, faith in the good intentions and the hard work of the other guywell you can learn to code ,read the code and see if it does anything dodgy?
i can hardly understand my own code, remember what it does or what my intentions were at the time; never mind anything else . I will put that on my CV though, maybe in hobbies -" by the way apparently i belong to a cult" :^)They say that even the most knowledgeable they can't review Linux individually, even them they have to have faith to each other, faith in the good intentions and the hard work of the other guy
