  • Abstract
    Although open-source software development has virtues, there is reason to believe that the approach would not have a significant effect on the security of today´s systems. The lion´s share of vulnerabilities caused by software bugs is easily dealt with by means other than source code inspections. The tenets of open-source development are inhospitable to business models whose success depends on promoting secure systems
