I think what he means is that open source file formats
tend to be less
opaque than others because you have the data definition and the
associated behavior as open source code.
That does not matter. My point is that open source projects have a
tendency to be sloppy and uncontrolled. Sure, there are some great
open source things out there, but after they have had their run and
interest has waned, then maybe something bad happens to machines they
reside on, will that be the end?
I think so.
