Should Open source software be a bad thing?
Not at all. Closed source is more difficult to service, maintain and modify. Open Source provides complete transparency. Open source software is neither good or bad but simply a set of license terms and conditions that dictate how the software needs to be licensed if it is modified and redistributed. One reason developers can modify it in the first place is that the underlying source code--rather than just an executable file--is distribted as one of these terms and conditions (depending on whose definition you use there are either 4 or 10 of these terms and conditions and there are all kinds of variations--dozens if not hundreds--of open source licenses).
