That a fallacious view of commercial software.
For example, would you describe Windows Vista as "good and solid
engineering, built from prototypes and experience".
Being either proprietary and/or commercially supported is no guarantee
of quality. It's a sheer myth.

Given GPS's obvious political leanings, he'd probably describe it as
"liberal".
