I admire those that say open source is the answer. But those of us who don't write code are no better off than those who pay for every ap they use, closed source. It would do me absolutely no good at all to have the code for Adobe-- I couldn't read it, nor could I fix it, if it were broken.
Uh, Doug, Don't you see those regular security notices put out by Marcus Meissner, etc.? Don't you use linux, Firefox, Thunderbird (or Opera, Konqueror, kmail, etc.)? Don't you update your system when you see the notices? You _are_ better off because of the thousands who can and do look at the code, design and implement fixes, and update suse or whatever. You are a direct beneficiary of open-source, and most particularly the GPL. And so am I, and Richard, who don't look, design, and implement, along with all those who can and do.
