Where?

The top part says that you can check a box to consider
all commercial software trustworthy.  The second part
says that a commercial software company is likely to
maintain support for a product.

I consider commercial software to be as trustworthy, if
not more trustworthy, than OSS software.  Note that
trustworthy isn't the same thing as secure.  :)  That can
go either way, too.

Don't people saying that Open Source Software is
completely trustworthy scare you?
