Just like how no one has ever put anything malicious on Wikipedia. Nope, never, not once

Wikipedia accepts all new entries by default. Almost all open source projects review any contribiution first before merge.

It’s also not fair comparison, because there can’t exists an encyclopedia you can learn from but not look what’s inside it. But you can obfuscate machine code, making it very hard to see what it does, so it’s more temping for code developers to put malicious features when noone can see it.

And to back by words: https://gnu.org/proprietary/proprietary-back-doors.html

You won’t find such dense lists for anything that has source code available.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
