"Is Linux code the 'benchmark of quality'? Well, it is very good, no doubt about that," said Google+ blogger Brett Legree. "The main take-away point from the study should be that open source software, including Linux, is on par with proprietary software from a quality perspective. So, Linux code could be considered a benchmark of quality -- it is as good as anything else out there."
