I think about this every time I install software. As a citizen of a small European nation, 100% of the software I use is under control of a foreign government, and I trust none of them. At least with open source software, there is a better chance of nefarious changes being detected by at least one of the parties building and packaging the software. With proprietary software, even that small level of assurance is not available.
