A Non-insider's Guide to Free and Open Source Software
,----[ Quote ]
| Just like in your grocery-shopping, software choices matter. Most of the time
| (at least to my palate) conventionally-grown brocolli tastes the same as
| organically-grown brocolli, so why spend the extra money? I buy organic
| fruits and vegetables (when possible) because I know (or trust) that my body
| doesn't need the extra chemicals and pesticides that are used in conventional
| factory farming nowdays. Free and Open Source software are similar, in that
| you know that you can use conventional corporate software solutions with all
| of their caveats and insidious advertising, or your can use Free and Open
| Source software, which guarantee your freedoms to use and share it as you see
| fit, without any ulterior motive. You can argue that they "taste the same",
| but isn't an extra glance at the EULA worth the effort?

Debunking reasons not to open source indie freeware games

| Make the smart decision, open source your freeware game. There is a good
| reason that those experienced with open source strongly advocate it's
| application. It works. It's not a miracle cure for a dying project though,
| so don't wait until you have already lost your way, strike whilst the iron
| is hot. It is never too early to open source your freeware game project!
