Howeved, the problem begins when some software if written that is closed source and then someone claims that it contains extracts of open source code with in, even worse is the reverse, where a open source item of software is found to contain element of closed source code.

My other feelings about open source code is that sloppy programming is less difficuilt to hide, and also the speed of any security/bug patch releases are usually greatly enhanced.
