   The fact that #software is #proprietary by default is wrong. It should be #FreeSoftware ( as in #libre ) by default and there should not be a way to make software proprietary.

     in reply to
     @blenderdumbass Unfortunately making software proprietary is as trivial as withholding the source code.
     
     That was how some companies made their software proprietary when copyright didn't apply to software.
     
     
     If people could say no to a proprietary program even once, total proprietary death would be close.
