Testers Find Major Open Source Packages Reliable

Open source leads to more defects... why?
- Open Source means more eyes on same thing, so it should be more stable.
- Open Source means community and that leads to humans picking on other humans about "how bad" their code is and this leads to better code quality.
- Open Source means open "doors" and possible hack situations so it shoule lead to a more secure code since anyone can see what is going on in there. On compiled, secured code there might be thousands of open doors to hackers, but noone can see that, therefore no one can alert about these.
- Open source usually means free or at least accessible, so there will be more people playing with it, therefore more chances to run over a bug, etc..
