Well since the source code is already wide open, why wouldn't it be? Especially since there's no definitive proof whatsoever that "good eyes" is even 1/10th the number of "bad eyes", it's a total unknown and always will be.

Here's some things we can quantify, however:

Simply not true. The "programmer community" IS a human institution, after all, and all the rules of sociology apply. In ANY human institution, the "good guys" outnumber the "bad guys" by a typically 10:1 margin. Problems occur when the "organization" re-defines the rules as to what constitutes a "good guy" (street gangs, the Mafia, etc.).
