There is a difference between open for scrutiny and open source.

If I put a document in a PDF and send it to you for you to review, that is open for scrutiny. If, however, I simply put the same document in GDocs and send you the link--with full editing permissions--that is open source.


In code, open source could be pretty bad, DEPENDING on a number of factors. Particularly, comments and other documentation, work breakup, and even "code styles".

But having the code open for scrutiny--that might help.
