    What do you disagree with? Heartbleed was a vulnerability in OpenSSL. It affected millions of computers.

        The only person in the whole thread talking about proprietary software is that guy.

        This is a thread about how the accepted wisdom that many eyes make open source software more secure is based on the assumption that someone else is effectively auditing the code base which has been proven over and over again not to be true.

        E: I just looked at this thread and now everyone is talking about proprietary software. It would be cool if the progression of time made fools of us all, but it looks like it’s just me this time.
