Excellent and important initiative, IMHO.

I believe FreeSWITCH have sufficient objective advantages compared to not
only open-source solutions, but commercial ones as well. I think that it can
stand out even in a non-biased matrix.

Take a look at these comparisons as a reference:

But it all depends on the purpose of the matrix in the first place. Just a
thought.

I would certainly agree the security is important. Responsiveness to 
security flaws is one thing.

I think another point of valuation would be average bugs per year or 
month, weighted accordingly (pre-auth remote command execution should 
have a greater weight than an xss in the built-in web server).

Though, that might turn into a whole other book. ;]
