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’ve worked on FOSS stuff with very large user bases and seen very obvious flaws go unnoticed for several years, so I guess most people don’t.
