Long story short: I can't trust closed sources extensions nor more nor less than closed source security software, I can't trust a company no more than another (only reputation can lead to small percentage variations). And if you and the community keep innovate the project you keep gaining money, no different than pharmaceutical industry that do research vs pharmaceutical "generic" industry. Otherwise if there is only a price competition many will go for the cheap, many, not all. Other, of course, may use your schematics and software for free but if they add competitive features you get them back for free because of FOSS licensing, if they do not respect licenses you'll get backed by FSF&c that have a firepower and advertising capability normally superior to any new company/startup. After you know that community give credit so if the project will be successful people will buy your product, paying you back for your part of work and physical production. But the community will protect you, because you publish from the start the rate of benevolent and interested individuals that follow your project from the start will likely detect any bad guys, far better than any software, heuristic and even "AI" in general terms. If your project interest others, many with valuable skills came to help. However instead of creating a "antivirus" vs "virus" classic scenario, that we all know it doesn't work my lines is: all must be open (hw, sw) and developed in a FOSS way from the start.įor instance if you are an hw OEM who want to produce a new GNU/Linux phone? Ok, start work on it in a public repo. Generally speaking anyone can create malicious software disguised in various way, so FOSS project included. ![]()
