In Ubuntu Software center there are different sections for programs
- Provided by Ubuntu
- Canonical Partners
- For purchase
I know all of these are open-source; but is there any validation process done by the Canonical to ensure that they are free of any spyware or malware?
I wonder will anyone get time to look at all these (2355 programs or so as of now), software code that too for every release!!
I am worried because I routinely install rather unpopular software from software center :)
