Excuse me, but I don't get the last part. You know that
F had been built in environment of unspecified degree of security
from source that had been kept in <--->
written by programmers you don't know
who had been hired in conformace with criteria <--->
and released after passing QA of unknown quality (but you can bet
that they had missed some security holes in the past)
under a license that almost certainly disclaims any responsibility.

Care to explain how does one get from the trust in above to "trusted to run"?
