Any organization that would deploy software that could kill someone without carefully personally reviewing it for fitness of purpose especially when the candidate software states that it waives all liability and waives any guarantee that it is fit for purpose as stated in sections 11 and 12 of the GPLv2 [1] is criminally irresponsible. Though it is scummy to deliberately introduce defects into a OSS project, any defects that result in a failure to perform are both ethically and legally completely on whoever is using Linux in a capacity that can cost billions of dollars or kill someone.
