Open Source Software Hijacked To Push Malware
jfruhlinger writes "VLC Media Player is a popular, useful, and free-as-in-beer piece of software. Unfortunately, its open source nature makes it easier for people with bad intentions to repackage it in nefarious ways. Not only do some of these folks claim that they're the originator of the software (a violation of trademark law and the license), but they often bundle it up with crapware and malware, which is a real dilemma for open source developers who play by the rules."
Provide real world quantifiable evidence that OS is inherently more secure than closed source. And walking around with a chip on your shoulder is just a target for those wishing to knock it off.
