The more obsure and different the less likely. If closed source the knowledge belongs to the creators. If the circle is extremely small the chance of that knowledge being shared with your enemy is low. It goes up when that circle is increased.
When you want the biggest circle open source is safer. If your circle is small closed will be safer.
