Since we cannot view the code of this software, then we have no way of 
determining before we use it if it has any purpose other than its stated 
purpose. For all we know, it contains some nasty code that takes over 
your system and deletes all of your files or worse.

To trust this software because the developer seems to have good 
intentions is foolish. When I saw the announcement, I interpreted it as 
saying this: "Gee, here is some neat software I wrote. You can't see the 
code, but trust me, I'm good. I'll open up part of the code maybe 
sometime, but for now you can try it out for free. I'm not going to cut 
you off later and make you pay to continue using this wonderful thing. 
And no, it doesn't do anything bad like steal information or trash 
systems. Trust me." No thanks, I say. Promote this somewhere else.
