To answer your question about throwing the first stone. Your question reads a bit like the "Are you a criminal/commie?" questions. Many people would object to the question at the start because it implies that the people being asked the question has done something wrong. Watching the reactions to political debates shows that asking the question can be enough to get a sizable amount of the audience to think the answer is yes, even when no proof is ever given that something happened.
Then when the question was deleted, you demanded that pfSense take a stand on it. Let me show you what it looks like from the other side: Have you planned to overthrow the government? When will you show that you are not plotting to kill your fellow country men? It is a simple question, when will we here something from you? I just ask because I want to be sure that you are not trying to kill me. For the tool in question, pfSense, once you start questioning it, there is no way to get the bottom without eithering trusting the pfSense people (which means that the question is pointless because if you trust them, asking them if they have violated your trust means that you don't trust them) or getting an external validation (trusting another group of people or doing the work yourself). FYI, there is a long history on the Internet of people asking simple "innocent " question, not to get actually answers, but to cause trouble by causing the effect described at the beginning of my email (these are called trolls).
