Why I hate non-Free software

,----[ Quote ]
| All software sucks. It's full of bugs, and rarely works right.
| 
| The general solution to this is to live with bugs, and fix them as you see 
| them. Eventually, you've fixed enough of them that you don't care anymore. If 
| one comes up, you just fix it. Easy.

Why Software is not treated fairly

,----[ Quote ]
| When you “buy” a proprietary software you are not actually buying the 
| software but a license to use it. Although in many cases the physical package  
| of the software convinces you that you actually bought something that belongs 
| to you, in reality what you get is someone’s permission to use a piece of  
| software.

Why Security by Obscurity Fails, Part 674

,----[ Quote ]
| Although these are physical, rather than software locks, the lesson is the
| same: there is no such thing as an unpickable lock, there is no such thing as
| unhackable software, even if it's closed and encrypted. Since *someone* will
| be able to find the flaws in your software, you may as well open it open so
| that they can be found and fixed. Go open source.
