definitely not.

but whenever you implement any financial software, you go through the same audits. whether you paid $1M for it or got it for free.

you do realize that most banks run on open source platforms (linux). and there are countless magento installations out there? to debate whether an open source alternative is viable to a closed-sourced model we'd have to travel back 20 years, when this debate was relevant.

and bashing free stuff, is like bashing free samples at the super market... feel free to move along.

cheers.

Quite a bit different. There are very strict rules (in the US) about how RIAs, brokers, banks, etc can communicate with clients and prospective clients.
