In addition to the generally better properties of open source free 
software explained by other folks on the list, the trustworthiness of 
the Tor source/binary packages and the Tor network is improved by:

1) GPG signing packages

2) making deterministic builds

3) adherence by staff to the Tor Social Contract and Ethical Resarch 
Guidelines

4) using best practices for cryptography and privacy by design

Hope this helps.
