Thank you for your answers so far. However, they do not make the matter more clear.
Simply saying something like “Hey, look, the code is freely available there on the web!” does not really help, because one cannot easily find out if that code is exactly the same as the one that is in the compiled file.
Making a parallel with the food industry: If you know that after an audit company X was found out of mismatching the ingredients in the actual product with those on the product’s label, how much would you be inclined to still buy and eat their product, assuming decent alternatives exist?
So how can a normal, non-tech user can really trust Ubuntu and LL?
As for the .iso mounter, I need a program that mounts the .iso as a disk, similar to DaemonTools from Windows.
