"Trojans have been found in several open-source projects over the last year, including those found in Sendmail and OpenSSH."

Get your facts straight, please- you're spreading incorrect information. *Vulnerabilities* were found in Sendmail, OpenSSH, and other open-source projects- *not* Trojans. The difference is huge, and the article portrays open-source projects in a bad light because of this misinformation. (Though, one would think that was its intention anyway- the author appears to go to some effort to 'accidentally' get the facts wrong more than once- I've never heard of Trojans in libpcap/tcpdump either.)
