So, since Mozilla and Debian have the condition of the source code of the all software they offer is available as open source, they will not be able to access it to offer it to me, so I will not be able to access EME and CDM protected content if I don't trust a third party capable of offer me that support. Oh, well... Since some years ago, software can not be based on trusth anymore, both from the client or the server side. > This is in contrast to the current situation where the closed software > comes from a third party who indeed you may not trust and about whom > you have no choice. > > Is this not an improvement ? > No, since in the current situation they are only software pieces that I have their specifications or can be able to get them by reverse engineering, and with them I can be able to use alternatives from sources that I can trust.
