"I support it only if it's open source" should be a more common viewpoint

The biggest growing concern is that many open-source projects are maintained by just 1-2 people, who themselves become targets of capitalists trying to take down such competitors by hacking their accounts. Even GitHub is no longer safe; I now download 2-3 versions away from the latest version of each project and read up on clamor first, just in case.

I don't disagree. I believe if public/government funds are used to develop software, that software should be open source. Same with many of the developments paid for by the government... If we the people are paying for it, it should be open
