Apache Log4j 2

  I don't think that's a good example. While Apache devs are volunteers and Microsoft devs are employees, they were criticized for their slow response time and seeming lack of urgency until it was far too late.

  However, there are many open source projects that are widely used but not well-known, including cURL, ImageMagick, MyCLI, Homebrew, Apache Log4j, and OpenSSL. This article will take a closer look at these unsung heroes of the open source world. I do not want to give them a business model or financial advice in this article. This largely depends on the author's personal experience and values. I just want to raise more awareness about these open source projects.

  > When it was first revealed in early December 2021, the Log4Shell bug was described as one of the most severe security vulnerabilities ever.

  Apache horribly mismanaged this and did not release a patch until it was already widely known and being exploited in the wild. They also messed up and had to release several subsequent patches to actually fix the vulnerability.

  Remember: this vulnerability was disclosed to them in November.

  In software, you can go and see exactly who did what, when. How the Log4Shell vulnerability was patched, its detailed history and can work out how long that vulnerability was there for. Same with Wikipedia, where you can see every edit and discuss those that were made. It should not take a law degree and weeks of examination to find some bullshit is being slid into a bill, this is criminal.
