I think you have the open source security risks backwards, Herbie.
One of the features of open source is that the source code is public.
This means that ANYONE can read it, study it, find bugs in it, AND
find trap doors in it! And "anyone" means anyone in the whole world!
On the other hand open code reduces risk of existence of such holes,
or assures better detection of such holes. This is good thing.
There are known holes in M$ software, despite it's OCO.
If anyone would like the source code of the Jol Universal Command
Language (370 ASM version) please send me an email and I will tell where
you can download it from.
You must agree that you will abide by the GNU terms, and not use it
commercially without some appreciation, or for war.
