Just because a company releases something as open source, doesn't mean the software is free to use, or that your privacy won't get compromised, and it doesn't mean that they are not - by design and 100% on purpose - simply using the open source community as free labor. Often a company releases something as open source, but at the same time they have a proprietary version of the product as well, in which the open source is barely usable, all the while the only product that actually runs on real hardware is the proprietary version, just so they "look good". It's like saying, "Oh look, we made this amazing product open source and we share it freely with the world!", yet it's useless without the proprietary part. This is IMHO what Google has done with Android and partly with Chrome.
