Even if one concedes that SCO = jerks, it doesn't follow that
free = secure
It can, but that depends on good developer practices, systematic auditing,
etc; there could easily be some proprietary OSs that are better than some
free OSs; more eyes alone doesn't do the job, but more eyes that have a
clue and are applied according to an overall plan can make a difference.
