I find it a little strange that people never talk about this.

Ignore, for a moment, your personal assessment of Goertzel's chance of creating AGI. What would you do, or what would you want done, if you suspected an open source project was capable of succeeding? Even if the developers acknowledged the notion of FAI, there's nothing stopping any random person on the internet from cloning their repository and doing whatever they like with the code.

Open source are good with low risks. Cooperation brings diferrent levels por expertize to create a new program, but to solve a hard problem is necessary convergent goals and coordination.

I personally favour open source. My reasons are in this essay.
