@tenderlove :D

BTW nation state can out a gun on the maintainer andnforce them to release a vulnerable package.

Or put them in a prison without anyone noticing and take the ownership of the package.

@tenderlove Pay open source devs. If you dont then someone with worse intentions will.

@binarymelon @Hunterrules0_o @tenderlove open and free software doesnt mean free as in free beer software. people should still be paid for working and carrying the major technological progress of humanity

@tenderlove I wouldn't be too. sure it's some nation state that put together the whole scheme. It could also be a case of 2-3 friends engineers (a'la Office Space), putting together something that's eventually sellable in crime and espionage markets. From the mailing list, it seems to be a job of 2-3 ppl originally, and not just the commiter.

cobratbq,

@tenderlove well, the software did have great new features. 😋

I laughed unreasonably hard at this!

Too soon, and too funny, all at the same time.
