Really? So where's the source to the BIOS of your machine? Your drive firmware? Do you drive a car? Turn on a microwave? Use a cell phone?

So if you don't use closed source then why is it that those binaries are giving you a problem? Could it be that you don't practice what you preach? Oh, I see, it's OK to use closed source if you need to play quake but not if you want to check in some code. Sure, I can see how that makes sense.
