i'd cite the cathedral and the bazaar ...or the 'many eyes make all bugs 
shallow'
views - if you are given the API and the documents, you use the code without 
seeing
what its doing. by looking at each library you can see what it does and how it 
does it
but most importantly, you can see the bugs/issues/problems.

with the closed source proprietary software you expect to get 100% perfect docs 
because
you cannot see the source code - you are told how it works and what to feed it. 
thats that.


yes, one can complain until you are blue abotu documentation - and a few 
comments in this
thread have certainly alerted me to some of OpenSSLs other issues - enough 
perhaps to look
at GNUTLS or some alternative....'ReallyOpenSSL' anyone? ;-)
