You can’t contribute to the Linux kernel unless your changes have been approved by someone trusted with permission. You cannot contribute to whatever Walmart is doing, because you haven’t acquired permission to do so.

Or in other words it prevents fraud. If the input data is falsified and people to get sick, it’s just a matter of plugging in the QR code for the contaminated product.
