I know this is a touchy subject, but I cannot stay silent on such grossly irresponsible behaviour.
Silent Circle has been actively promoting itself to activists and claiming to international media that it has actually released its source code (and even all (!) of its source code) for public review Le Monde: http://www.lemonde.fr/sciences/article/2012/12/13/le-cryptage-a-la-portee-de-tous_1806219_1650684.html The quote in question: "*"Nos logiciels sont en open source*,*des experts extérieurs peuvent vérifier à leur guise leur intégrité et leur efficacité." — "Our software is open source, independent experts can verify its integrity and effectiveness at will."* Silent Circle has barely released any source code, and is acting very irresponsibly towards activists. There has been no code review and review remains impossible. However, the security community still refuses to speak up, and I daresay mainly because of Phil Zimmermann's close relations with many researchers in the community. This is unacceptable and embarrassing. Stop engaging in patronage and hold Silent Circle accountable. They have been advertising towards activists for three whole months with almost NO source code released. I've had enough. NK
