Another guy is coming to kill software industry. Richard Stallman is a great oppressor of programmers.Programmers write the code and give it away while living off crumbs. Marketing, sales, and support organizations make all the money, and its the reason he advocating free software. Truly genius!. Industry is depending upon revenue. Hope the intelligents will ignore his talks. Patented technology is the best, at least it has value….
Stallman wants the programmers to give the code free of charge. Will he advise to sell the talent behind marketing, business intelligence or anything. He is saying programmers can charge money, but should distribute its source code. Source code is the heart of any software. Let the programmers, decide whether to give the software free or not, and its not stallmans choice… hhaha..
But still you have to understand that most of the popular and daily using software are based on opensource – android,chrome,firefox,linux,php and what not? the best performing systems are always built on the opensource software – it is not just giving the source code free – you have to read and understand about it….
