Is great to see this kind of debugging, with a easy setup, in a open source IDE. Awesome job with the open source community.
All software is vulnerable to a lot of kind of attacks, especially when outdated.

My points:

- Normally is easier to sell software support than software licensing and for this is good to open your source, as will be possible to gather collaboration of other people;

- Gathering collaboration for other people is easy to recruitment of new talents;

- Larger market players will offer different services if they try to take advantage of open-source, and even if they offer the same service, costumers prefer the core maintainers when making big contracts for support.

- Open your code will help to make a software with better quality, as when you can't get time to fix some bugs some people can do this if it is of big priority for them.
