The question is simple. I wanted to get a general consensus on if people actually audit the code that they use from FOSS or open source software or apps.

Do you blindly trust the FOSS community? I am trying to get a rough idea here. Sometimes audit the code? Only on mission critical apps? Not at all?

Let’s hear it!

    No, because I don’t know enough coding to do so. I am learning, though, and I do tend to research software before I install it, even from trusted repos.
