Securing Open Source Software Act

Following the basic rule that all legislation is named the opposite of its actual result, I bet that the real effect of this is to make Linux and other open source software too expensive to use and thus come back to Windows.

“This important legislation will, for the first time ever, codify open source software as public infrastructure”

...ok, that doesn’t sound good at all.

There is already a process in place to mitigate exploits in open source software ... because ... it's open source. See a bug? Report it! And if you are clever, submit a patch as well. There is no need for any legislation. Just tell your CISA people to submit bug reports and patches.

Anything coming from these 2 traitorous pieces of trash can’t be good or beneficial for the country. Who’s paying them off to do this?
