Geez man. This isn’t good. Not only do you have a code base that kept having to go back and forth for corrections; you also have another country that can do whatever it wants with that code. Steal it, sell it to the highest bidder, etc.

How much is the value of code for MCAS or other airplane component? It is not like you can plug it in your Airbus and get more performance?

My opinion is that this could could be open sourced, similar for driving assist code, if the code is open and all companies contribute you get more safety at lower costs.
