And having the government be able to look at the code is not
considered being transparent?
Not transparent.
How do we know the government is not lying? Because you elected them?
And they are christ like?
Good point. If transparency is important, then why should code review be
only limited to the government?
There is only one good reason for limiting access to source code: to
protect vested commercial interests. Then these interests can do what they
want without the people making sure they do what is right. That is why
some people don't want code to be accessible.
But that's not what we want. We REAL transparency.
God bless!
