On the Weaponisation of Open Source

Socket seems interesting. I just installed it on some of my repos.

In your FAQ, it says "We're working to make Socket the best open source security tool.", this was confusing for me, as I got the impression that Socket's codebase is Open Source, and I went looking for it.

Maybe "We're working to make Socket the best security tool for open source packages" would be less confusing.

Great feedback. I initially understood socket was open source as well, which would have prevented me from using it to secure open source projects? circular argument :)
