It's just a security hole I don't like to leave open. Companies that are well regarded by or that I have done business with in the past are of course considered.
By NO MEANS, am I or would I make accusations that you or your company are doing the above with your programs/scripts.
I'm just stating my personal opinion here with regards to security. It's one of the many reasons I run Unix.

Well, why should a company which the only business is selling paysite automation software would risk own fortune implementing any kind of backdoors? If you would search the net, any good product is compiled with Zend Optimizer - that is not just out of security - Zend Optimizer also makes it working a way faster (on 10-15%).
We make the software for the last 2 years with weekly updates. If it were open-source - we wouldn't have any motivation to support it and make any updates.
