One question I have is:  Is there any reason to believe that the source

Perhaps not. In fact, probably not, judging by the apparent lack of
audit processes for say,
OpenSSL libraries re-used in commercial products. 

It still doesn't detract from the value  of what people are aware of, in
this case,
pfSense code quality.
