roryokane / Security of Software, Distribution Models_ It’s More Than Open vs Closed!.md
Last active May 5, 2023 16:26

Security of Software, Distribution Models: It’s More Than Open vs Closed!

(originally 2014 on Schneier’s blog; revised 2018)

I’ve noticed in recent debates a false dichotomy: you can have “open source” or proprietary, but not benefits of both. Developers thinking there’s only two possibilities might miss opportunities. This is especially true for users or buyers that are concerned about source copying, ability to repair things, or backdoors. The good news is there are many forms of source distribution available. The trustworthiness of review process also varies considerably. I’m going to briefly run through some of them here.
