I thought Harald Welte himself said the primary purpose of Osmocom was to enhance the security of GSM by finding and fixing vulnerabilities?

The various project descriptions on the Osmocom site would seem to disagree with that.
The project has certainly found a number of security vulnerabilities, due in large part to shedding more light on systems historically kept closed. However, the project descriptions seem to indicate openness as the primary purpose, with security as a(n intentional) side effect.
