Some people say that all the security claims of an app are unconvincing if the app itself is not 100% open-source. π€ Even a published security audit of an app is only for its version that was audited, not for versions after or before it. π€
At least for open-source apps, an audit (from a reputable company) helps increase the confidence of the users and potential users of an already open-source app. π€π
Yes, I can see how that would be useful, though I am generally quite distrustful of companies or corporations, so for me that would make no difference. πππβ¨π€
It would be really hard (but not impossible) for an open-source project to take off (become popular with lots of users) without support from companies or corporations. π€―
That's where users who love FOSS projects should come in and contribute where they are able and willing to. π€π€
Absolutely, and yet those are the only projects that I really support, aside from Linux itself, which is already being taken over from the inside by corporations. I want nothing to do with them.
Personally, I would only contribute to projects which are 100% community-based. No corporate nonsense for me! π π π β¨ π€
That's true. While most of the software that I use is open source, not all of it is yet. π π π β¨ π€

I would agree with that generally. Yep, audits are version specific. πππβ¨π€
