Some proprietary software lobbyists are trying to spin the xz story as an "anti open source" story, and I see demands like "you shall only use opensource software if you have a contract with someone guaranteeing support and security". I'd be curious: Can I see the contract those people have with Microsoft or whatever company you never heard of that wrote the firmware in their wifi card that guarantees the same for the closed source software they're using?
