The below file is a Markdown conversion of a section of an OmniOutliner document I once wrote. The nested lists below were meant to be collapsed by default, so you could expand only the branches you care about. Sadly, that’s not easy to represent in Markdown, so below you see every detail about every option.

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.
