Good point. When code is too hard to understand, open source is an illusion.

  Open Source is an 'illusion' most of the time. What open source gives you, is the possibility that someone could understand and take over the source if it's needed badly enough.

    Open source is like open laws, so bloody vast it takes people who you have to pay vast sums of money to spend the time to interpret and advise you on it. So you don't have to spend the vast amount of time to use it.

      Interesting analogy. And still better than closed laws.
