   There is too much free/open ware to do this.   
      
   In my world, virtually all of the ware is open source. While I don't   
   have the skills to examine ANY of that source, the transparency makes it   
   available to the masses who do have the skills.   
      
   But much of what you are dealing w/ here is free *services*, which is a   
   significantly different thing than free software, particularly different   
   than free software which is also open source.   
      
   Also, the open source world is considerably more complex because of the   
   licensing structure which applies to it.
