I would hope that most people would go through code they pull off the net
regardless of who wrote it. The easiest way to spread a worm/virus is
by having others carry it for you. I would insist on source code and
go through it carefully. I don't think this is paranoid, in fact, one
can learn alot from looking at the junk that other people write ;-).
