again its "free software" not "open source" unless you are referring to the development model specifically which you arent. and if you didnt make the comment that you needed to make a living what where you trying to say beside they dont get paid?
if you actually are your own boss and make and sell software you are an edge case.
additionally i know colors can be trade marked, thats why i said it, because its fucking stupid. also you know jackshit about me. as a matter of fact ive contributed code and testing time to a package manager. its not much but i still gpled code out there that people actually use every day. not to mention my day job i depend on a toolset that is largely free software (not that my company wouldnt/doesnt pay for proprietary software).
again for someone who is not in the 99% of people that some how make their own code and own their own company, you are the exception not the rule. and again its called "free software".
nothing you posted had anything to do with the original point that i contested, that "open source" is not as good as proprietary software. but if you want to continue to act high and mighty because you are bourgeois coder, keep derailing the thread and keep on trolling, ill just block you.
