Yes - there aren't many like that.

These machines are put to good use, by the good guys.

Thanks, I'm just concerned about it being open source, which IMO makes it easier for anyone, including the bad guys, to get it. My understanding of the reason why some believe that should be accepted is their belief the "open" development environment allows for faster advancement of technology and capability, which is possibly true but then again becomes a concern of proliferation.

If the envelope or bleeding edge of technology is being shared by everyone, why couldn't the bad guys be just as likely to hold a superior advantage over you at any point in the future, since you're already giving them equal footing? Sorry to put you on the spot since you already shared as much as you did, but in the dangerous world in which we live I've never really understood why this sort of technology isn't being better protected.
