I have been involved in security audits for 110% closed code, code that's secret even within the company.

Auditing helps the company writing it, the auditors are usually experts in breaking stuff in fun ways, and it's good for business - we could slap "code security audited by XXX" on the sales pitch.

You're on the precipice of discovering the problem of incentives when it comes to audits.

Audits are good, but they're inferior to source available
