@mangeurdenuage @iwillbite >Free software was never about costing less
sure, but running a business is. if costs are too high they're just not going to do it

>And can cost even less if they finance the original author directly
original author takes the money and goes "dude trust me lmao"

>Because they can hide behind the shadows
no, because it's uneconomical to take on the liabilities of an entire free software project just because you want to use it to make something

if you think you can somehow turn a profit making a litter box running on free software why don't you do it then

>My understanding of the free market is easy, to be able to have a free market you cannot forbid someone to forbid
free market only concerns with ownership and freedom to enter a deal of exchange

>Want to change code ? fuck you!
yes because ownership of the code is with the corpo and they didn't release it

>Ten and myself around 3k without tax
you're running a maintenance service, not developing software for sale. big difference

>What's the revolution about owning something ?
you're trying to forbid software owners from enforcing their ownership

>If it was the case wouldn't everyone just use free/libre software ?
unfortunately, you know, there's this minor issue of "most free alternatives are shit"
blender is a good example of the exception, but the norm is unfortunately not the case
