Religion has no place in SOFTWARE. This is one of several reasons 
why the prsence of the GPL is an important reason for not using 
software.

While the presence or absence of the GPL does not affect the
security of the software per se, it can and should affect one's
choice among solutions to the security problem that had been posed
(of which there are several). If someone said, "Don't use that, 
it's Microsoft-proprietary," I'm sure you wouldn't take it
amiss, right? This is no different.
