i told him if he didnt like it not to use it right off the bat however he ALSO Said

Just to be absolutely clear, I could care less about the source. I don't want it, and I don't even want to see it. I never implied I did. I just wanted to give out the warning that anyone with the ability to code could easily slip something nasty in there. I am not saying you did, but what better way would there be to get unlimited access to people's databases than by making a simple tool and then handing it out as closed source?
If Cavedude saw the source and gives it the all clear, then that is all I was getting at. If he was to post and say that this is safe to use, then there wouldn't be much of a need to be concerned anymore.

now why should anyone have to give the all clear? i dont see him mouthing off about georges's tools or minilogin or any number of other tools that are available that havent been given an "all clear"
even angelox noted it was out of hand
the principal of the matter is the issue getting a third party tool cleared by the devs like that to my knowledge hasnt been asked of anyone else when they release closed source tools and therein lies the attack
