Well with IT folks like yours truly, a revolution is beginning again! An because of profiteering gullotons, that extort money for bad code and even worse tech support. When there's free and open-source code, that's freely available and open for everyone! One case in point Linux mint, which is a open-source operating system and it's free as in cost, an free as in speech. I've been preaching the importance of open-source software for many moons. An for various reasons, for one it encourages sharing and freedom of speech (which is very important to me), also if there's a problem; you're legally allowed to fix it without getting in trouble and you're legally allowed to modify the code to fit your needs. An you're encouraged to share your modified code to anyone. An I whole heartedly believe in a free and open society and that's what open-source software represents, freedom. So in short support open-source software, because you support freedom, as in freedom of speech...
Right on :)
