okay then... for the record, where do you do your "daytime work" as a web

What's the relevance of that question?
The relevance is, if your employer(s) see security issues, or any other
issues for that matter, from standing in the way of making all their web
source public, and you are ok with that there, then it seems disingenuous
of you to fuss about our web sources not being completely public either.
I find the security argument ridiculous given that this is a read only
application reading stuff from a database. If a person (either because
of competence or tool chain or any other reason) can't write code that's
safe enough to be shown to the public, it shouldn't run anywhere.
There are lots of applications which need to be very secure which are
open source. Why should our source code be different?
So lets move on, and focus on what we can do to improve our web source
internally, discussing *internal* source control,
and drop the needless distraction of making it a public one.
Looks like another point we have to agree to disagree on, so ok. It's
dropped.
