You're welcome to consider it such, but that doesn't make it so.


BMD is a rather old and respected company, if you're concerned about the 
open ports in their _free_ software you're welcome not to use it. Or 
welcome to block those ports, or to even ask BMD why they're open?

Right in some BMD notes for v19--
Setting up Remote Monitoring over IP connections on the Resolve Clients
[...]
Firewall exceptions and appropriate port forwarding will need to be 
manually configured in order to use this mode. The procedure to initiate 
a session and accept connections remains the same. This mode uses TCP 
server port 16410 and TCP/UDP port 16411, 16412, etc. for each client.

(Took me a only a few minutes to find that.)

They also use some ports for collaboration and probably for license 
management; can't blame them for that, can we?


Before quickly trashing some well-respected software, please do a little 
research.
