[News] The Reasons Developers and Users Prefer Free Software

The Freeness of Free Software

,----[ Quote ]
| You're just not free with proprietary software. (Please forgive
| the conflation of software and formats. There has been some
| movement in the direction of open formats, but I think
| proprietary software makers are always going to try to lock
| you in on the data.)
| 
| (And I'm not really bitter about VB. Microsoft did me a favor
| there by helping to highlight a problem with non-free software,
| and hopefully I'll soon become as productive in Java or some
| other free language.)

The pleasures of the Open Source development model

,----[ Quote ]
| Open Source, or FLOSS if you prefer, is not anymore only developed by
| people out of ethical or technical reasons, but out of pure business
| reasons as well.
