that's wrong. that's like saying: knowing how openSSH works means you can
circumvent it. the best secure software has always been open source
software because of the amounts of eyes that review it.
besides, the source is just a tool. you don't NEED the source to find out
how something works. i really believe that a smart open source based team
can do just as good of a job, and not be such control freaks about it.
