Re: [libreoffice-users] Dear Libre Office team

Hi,
 If you are really worry about security, you should apply the rule in 
practice in high security agency (military...): only use software that 
you compîled yourself, from official source files, and after checking 
the sources for any backdoor or security issues. While usually you can 
get the source of proprietary sofware (with a non-disclosure agreement 
and often a lots of money), Open-source software let you do that for free.
That's one major reason that those agencies favor more and more open source.
Best regards,
Jean-Louis

I am very sensitive toward security and I do not want my documents sent to the hacker later. Can I make myself easy about the concern?
