Rgs, Matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---- Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2002 13:11:46 -0500 Subject: question re opensource security OK, I have a question, and I'm hoping some Open Source wonks out there c= an answer it for me. First, a couple of truisms about open source software: 1. It suffers fewer flaws than proprietary software, thanks to the natur= e of open source review. 2. When flaws are discovered in open source code, they're fixed faster, thanks to open source review, etc etc. My question: Has anyone ever conducted any studies or surveys that bear = out these truisms? Do you know of any research that suggests open source software is less flawed and fixed faster? If you do, please post the answer here or email me at OpenSeeker2002@yahoo.com. Thanks.
