Now there is a non-sequitur if ever there was one. If the code is GPLed, *anyone* can check it and see that it's secure. And if it isn't, *anyone* can submit a patch to make it so. And they do. Contrary to popular opinion, the percentage of vandals in the population is very low, they just make a lot of noise per head. Closing your code works to the vandals' advantage. Cheers; Leon
