Well, at this point, which anti-virus product you use is gradually devolving to "which state do you want to spy on you?". And the problem is, the answer may not be "the state I live in", since that state is the most likely to tax and otherwise regulate you.

In this day and age of FUD, what are the odds that said open source software has a vulnerability or malicious code inserted by some state actor (ours included)?
Probably low.
Maybe rather than playing cat and mouse over taxes, a person who avoids taxes should be more fairly and simply designated as a foreign national or stateless?
