Re: [Trisquel-users] Julian Assange: Debian Is Owned By The NSA

[holger . beetz]

@quantumgravity: I have no doubt that Debian is "compromised" in the pretty  
much same way as every GNU Linux distribution is compromised as well. Due to  
the sheer amount of code for the Kernel itself, all applications used and all  
the libs included it is close to impossible to validate code for possible  
implemented weaknesses / back doors.

Also lets not forget that are areas with a high complexity are not really  
understandable for most devs. This applies to critical areas like lib OpenSSL  
and possibly a lot more.

Of course this is no argument against free software. No-one said so.
