Summary: The above LibrePlanet talk by Dr. William Cooper Davidon was uploaded by the FSF (PeerTube link) six days ago; From the official page: “In safety-critical software, mistakes and errors can be lethal. Recent accidents with the Boeing 737 Max Aircraft illustrate the failure of proprietary software required to have undergone careful review following the F.A.A.’s DO-178x certification process. Governments and the people they represent must strongly consider requiring free software to be used for safety-critical code implementations. Free software offers transparency and a much higher level of review than what is possible with proprietary software.”
