Read inside - that is exactly what I wrote - the problem with proprietary
software code is that it is close - but do we aggre that it is MUCH easier
to include open code into close code than the oppersite way around?
Therefore we will always be behind - and that is OK because we care for
security more than new features!

But talented or not - it is more easy to copy than develop new code.
