Oh no, Mr. Clyde must be joking or is horribly uninformed.
If he'd study Code Red's story (it wasn't 5 years ago, right?) he'd probably either dump this funny opinion or lie in more arcane manner.
Do they publicly call themselves a security company?

Proprietary software companies don't fix all problems Posted Aug 18, 2004 22:41 UTC (Wed) by JoeBuck (subscriber, #2330) [Link] Of course they don't, and they shouldn't. They fix problems encountered in their internal testing, and they fix problems that the customers scream about, but any program of significant size ships with known defects. This is true whether it is open source or proprietary. In the case of proprietary software, sometimes the customer must buy the new version to get a known defect corrected (especially if the fix is non-trivial), though security bugs are not treated this way by any responsible company.
