This page was intended to display the pros and cons of open source security from an unbiased view. There is plenty of info that needs to be added to the pros and cons. Also, more metrics and measures need to be added along with other baselines.

The three reasons given as cons to using an Open Source security model all seem to me to be the same reason....many people USING the software doesn't guarantee that many people are improving it. Can't we merge these "three" reasons somehow? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.183.66.175 (talk) 05:01, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced removed

I removed a bunch of assertions which were unsourced and seemed to just be somebody's opinion. If you want to add any of it back, please source it. --Dissidentplasterer (talk) 14:44, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
