This security-inspired feeding frenzy is turning into steady income for a rising number of developers, though it remains to be seen whether bug bounties are the ideal way to resolve our security problems.

One solution to improving open source software's security is to fund the developers who write it.

It's also true that the open source community has responded really well to security breaches when they are discovered.
