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.
