   It likely stems from the same strawman argument that if its open-source, its   
   somehow "better" or "more secure". You see this all the time with real Linux   
   fanatics and they move the goalposts when asked if they will personally audit   
   all 250,000+ lines of that Linux kernel looking for exploits.   
      
   I get asked about making D'Bridge open-source. That code is maybe useful only   
   to someone who *really* knows about mailers. Otherwise its just a trophy or    
   something for them to recompile with their name plastered all over it.
