Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months (github.com)

I had no idea this issue had been identified. While I find this tool very useful, the project is seeming rather questionable to me now.

Yes, and that’s what is being called out here. But your original comment makes it sound like you are advocating for closed source software and that somehow open source software is bad.

This is the system working as intended. When potential issues arise, it’s openly discussed and ideally resolved. And if not, trust is lost and people will stop using it.

I don't know about the history of the project, but it sounds like those blobs have been there for quite some time. When in reality, the PR that added the blobs in the first place shouldn't ever have been approved.

Actually just checked 3+ years.
