We do not create a walled garden, instead we tear down these walls, creating an open utopia. A fully standards-based freedom-oriented system, based on Debian and many other upstream projects, has never been done before–we will be the first to seriously attempt this.
considering that most open-source / free-software DEVELOPERS are PATRONED from the USA and thus abide by US LAW you could say perfectly well that it is “a walled garden with THICK walls but which ALSO has SOME doorways for coming and going unlike the OTHER 100% proprietary ecosystems”
that’s how i perceive it anyway … i’m not talking about the auditability of free-software here … i’m talking about the hackers who CAN hack for a living …
