I have spent the last 10 years of my career writing open source scientific software

Personally I believe that the rights of users to privacy and freedom are more important then a corporations right to use open source software to make proprietary software. There's a reason why nobody uses FreeBSD and why Linux is the dominant open source operating system.

I don't get what you're trying to say here: the BSDs aren't private and secure?

I'm saying that when code is open source it helps the open source ecosystem and when using open source code means contributing your modifications everyone benefits.
