Re: Can Open-Source Software Survive an Audit?

In reply to ixnayrox
Actually I said nothing of the kind. In an Audit the organization being audited has the burden of proof. Just looking at these posts, how do you know who any of these people are? For all we know this could be a group of Chinese government employees, organized crime crackers, or a group of rogue investors who plan to use the Open Source expoits to pump the financials for the companies they invest in. All doubtful, but how would you show that none of this could happen?
-
Auditors tend to be very litteral, if you can’t prove it, it doesn’t exist, and simply looking at some of these names would suggest that there is an identity problem. I mean, I operate under my own name, why do you and others feel the need to hide yours? I never suggested that anyone was ignorant, though not being able to see that a lot of Linux came from UNIX does suggest that many of these eyes are closed, but Open.
-
Let me ask you this, I operate under my own name and stand behind what I say. Most of the folks posting do not, why is that? What is it you don’t want us to know?
-
I also wonder how many people read posts by people named “beaner”, “shadow255”, or “threeface” and wonder what qualifications they have to even comment. If you don’t know who someone is how can you trust what they say? Yet, people likely take code from similar entities without question. And this does speak to the core of the exposure, most failed audits result because the organization being audited simply does not understand what an audit is for, or how the process works. They assume they will pass and the result is never pretty.
