Linux Pros - Reasons to Use Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux and most of the Linux applications are open-source
|
| You can legally download, share, modify and use Linux applications because
| most of them are open-source and licensed under the GPL or another
| GPL-compatible license.
|
| [...]
|
| Projects which are unmaintained can be forked
|
| If a project is no longer maintained by its authors, then someone else can
| take the code and continue to develop it. Or fork it, to get something new,
| different. When Beep Media Player ceased to be developed, a new project,
| Audacious, was started, and it was based on the BMP code.
