The truth is open source software created and approved as official “projects” are equal in design and functionally to their commercial equivalents. Open Source surpasses commercial software in control and development agility.

In addition, the dedicated professionals that develop the open source code are often superior in skill to their commercial counterparts given their passion and that their code goes through the most extensive rigorous peer review possible and must follow strict guidelines. The code has full transparency because everyone sees the available code, eliminating fears of back door traps or Trojan code.
