	Here's a simple quick question, the answer to which will vary
from person to person. Why do you want the source for your security tools?

	Do you actually have time to do a proper inspection of the code? Is
it because documentation is always terrible, and if you have the source, you
can at least fall back on it? Is it so you can tinker with it? Some other
reason?

	It's become axiomatic that you must have the source, just like
it's axiomatic that gcc is pretty much the best compiler out there, and
the client-server model is really the right way to do most anything. Just
because it's axiomatic doesn't make it false, but I'd like to understand
why it's true.
