Ask HN: What are some excellent pieces of software...
Wondered that nobody mentioned Latex. I didn't look at the source code, but Laslie Lamport said he would pay a price (1000 USD?) for every error detected, and AFAIR he never had to pay a single dime. So the code should be qualifying for 'excellent'.

Did Leslie say that? I know TeX creator Knuth has had a long-standing bug/typo/error bounty for his works.

Oh, yes. I mixed up TeX and LaTeX. And the amount of the bug bounty, too. Sorry.
