&gt; 
&gt; It's not a stunning piece of writing, but it sums up the most common 
&gt; arguments nicely.
&gt; 
&gt; I found the next link very interesting about the need for transparency 
&gt; (not necessarily open source, which is a phrase that tends to produce knee-jerk 
&gt; reactions) in complex software.  This really, really struck a chord with 
&gt; me as a programmer, but if you go on to the next page the author sums up 
&gt; nicely why it is important to have transparency as opposed to the head-down-and-growling 
&gt; possessiveness of Microsoft and others.  I don't think it will help your 
&gt; linux-security-open source argument, but it is a different perspective on 
&gt; something that's not quite so hot-button.

This URL leads to a 404. Correction, please?
