Are you read the GPL (and many other free licenses)? NO WARRANTY is provided! Simple, you can use it, but at own responsibility. Provided security level is only about goodwill. But what security level provides Facebook (and similar)? And more and more people are using it, despite the warnings. Is its low security taking its popularity? Is Facebook's goodwill depended on its own security? IMHO no, its (and others) popularity is based on the users naivety. And naive people are good for today governments - they do not see, the do not hear, they do not understand. I was for years marked as paranoid, now my paranoia has name :-) But, i need to trust to someone (as you are pointing). Simple, i trust to the Debian's community, that if there will be security/privacy hole, it will be investigated and reported - and quickly than with SSL :-))) regards -- Slavko http://slavino.sk
