Bonafide,

I would say 'coz many Surfers of the Net may not care about the difference between Open Source (OS) and Closed Source(CS) at this stage. As long as it works!

Derrick posted "it's" availability, and so the humans will flock. Had Derrick posted an OS type PDF converter, the same would occur.

By downloading CS doesn't necessarily illustrate any "notion of prevalence" above OS?

It's just "there for the taking" as has always been the case with anything downloadable in the Net(as long you scan and remain protected)

Summary:

CONCLUSIONS

Which is more secure: closed or open-source software? Unfortunately the answer is not that clear. In general, both FOSS and proprietary systems are roughly equivalent in terms of security and reliability. Neither is inherently more secure or reliable than the other. Analytical arguments made in favor of either approach are not conclusive. Empirical studies have suggested that FOSS can potentially outperform proprietary systems. Nonetheless, any system that was not developed to be secure invariably will not be. There are certainly proprietary systems deployed that are more secure than their FOSS counterparts (e.g., S/COMP or GEMSOS ** versus Gnu/Linux), just as there are FOSS-deployed systems that appear to be more secure than their proprietary equivalent (e.g., Apache versus Microsoft IIS)

Another problem is that every software system mentioned..., both open-source and proprietary(CS), requires frequent patching to remediate defects. Any system that requires frequent patching is inherently insecure. Using patch counts as a metric for security is misleading. A system that requires a security patch every six months is not twice as secure as a system that requires patching every three months. They are both insecure.

"The FOSS(OS) movement is gaining traction. What was once an idealized concept espoused by hackers, hobbyists, and academics is now formalized and organized and is the dominant technology behind the Internet. As FOSS-based technologies continue to gain market share, proprietary software publishers will be forced to innovate to remain competitive and survive. It will be interesting to watch and see where FOSS technology takes us in the future. It will be even more interesting to participate."

So there are very good reasons for downloading either at this stage of infancy of both Man & Machine.

In this case it would be to convert PDF to Word etc...

It's truelly All Good!
