The question is simple. I wanted to get a general consensus on if people actually audit the code that they use from FOSS or open source software or apps.

Do you blindly trust the FOSS community? I am trying to get a rough idea here. Sometimes audit the code? Only on mission critical apps? Not at all?

Let’s hear it!

    I’m writing a paper on this, actually. Basically, it’s okay-ish at it, but has definite blind spots. The most promising route is to have AI use a traditional static analysis tool, rather than evaluate the code directly.
