I can't wash my clothes without Open Source

Read Original

The author discovers a list of open-source projects (OpenBSD, TropicSSL, a UTF-8 decoder, and the WIDE project) in the manual of a new Siemens washing machine. The article analyzes these embedded software components, discusses compliance and attribution, and reflects on the broader significance of open source in everyday consumer hardware.
