Do you believe/like the ideas of the Free software movement?
The Free Software Definition - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
I believe that softwares should be in the hand of the user, giving them the right to use it, modify it, and even distribute it(Even at any price they want, although wheather if it is practial is another matter).
A lot of propriteary softwares only give you permission to use. Free software on the contraty, grant you the right, with some responsibility to use the software(and the right to distribute, modify the software). Free softwares are often protected under copyright law to ensure that it is Free softwares for years to come.
I wonder what Steve Pavlina think about this, because he develop sharewares once for a living.
Btw, the forum Steve Pavlina is running is proprietary software. I hope that someday, it will change.
