Thats a good point. I should factor that into the next version of my essay. It will be a natural advantage for OSS. On proprietary end, perhaps the contract will give disclosure of problems plus immunity to suits to the reviewer. There are still problems that can happen in that model but negates most of what you said.<p>Btw, about obligation, my essay assumes the company is trying to differentiate by taking initiative and having their product reviewed. Companies that don&#x27;t shouldn&#x27;t be trusted at all. End of story.
