What is your position on open source projects? Should someone who writes software in their spare time who decides to share it publicly be forced to stop doing so?
I’m more open to harsher limits on commercial software, especially in certain categories. But underneath all of this we’re discussing an ecosystem and a culture which can’t be cleanly separated.
Some of the binary thinking I see in this thread would be deeply damaging to parts of that ecosystem with potentially major unintended consequence. Open source software is critically important for human rights/freedom. Taken at face value, many of the comments here directly threaten that freedom.
I’m not assuming that’s your stance, but I’m curious how you see the open source aspect of this considering how significant its role is - especially in the security space.
