   That GabX guy himself brought this up, GitHub/-Lab etc., and now he   
   complains.   
      
   And he explicitly talked about closed source in the sense of no source   
   code access, and not open source as free do-whatever-you-want software.

   I don't see a security risk in the protection of one's code.  For how   
   long do we have Omnimix?  20 years?  Have there been any security flaws?   
      
   This is about trust.  And it's more of a risk to have hacked versions on   
   offer, which promise improvements but in the end compromise your   
   anonymity and damage the reputation of this indispensable piece of   
   software, which also seems to be the main intention of those two   
   braggarts who terrorize this group for quite a while now.
