I would agree 100% with you if it was a icon maker program or a sound editing program. But it is a SECURITY program. Having the source code is a HUGE matter in this case, even if one doesn't give a damn about ethical side of free software. In a practical sense it still gives you the assurance that no one is backdooring anything. I agree with you 50% in that we should be careful to not fall into the "if I am not paying, it's free". So, yeah, for the third time, I don't support or promote the use of TrueCrypt. However, in some cases, it might be still the best shot (plausible deniability for example) for some people.

Still, I think we should stick with free software, and sometimes I agree that Open Source is a acceptable thing too.
