I mostly agree with that. It&#x27;s not what you said, though, which went further and is what I responded to. Stallman and FOSS fans like to go from those contributions to unsopported claims where no proprietary can have a single property of OSS. Yours implied only FOSS could&#x27;ve resisted a secret, US directive which was 100% untrue given existence of closed, non-US products. I preempted your likely counter by pointing out proprietary can come with source too for anti-subversion and actually reached highest form of security possible.<p>We&#x27;re still waiting on FOSS model to do that. Nobody has. Fortunately, the cathedral builders in industry and good CompSci are sometimes open-sourcing stuff after the fact. RISC-V, GenodeOS, seL4, NaCl, etc.
