@mangeurdenuage @iwillbite >while being cost effective
yes and taking on huge liabilities isn't cost effective

>What are contracts ?
still doesn't prevent your litter box running free software from decapitating cats if the codebase is shit and the maintainer is shit

>If that logic would apply they would never buy any proprietary competitors.
it actually is, because they know the competitor alone owns the code and they're responsible for it being economically viable

>Why I don't do it ? because my function is to maintain, repair and administrate computers like I discovered when I was 15yo, it made me alive.
sure, but that's not what people who want to be economically competitive choose

>Yes, and what happens when you forbid someone to be able to enter a deal exchange of lets say computer repair ? be it directly or indirectly.
i see third party spare parts on the market, if it's forbidden as you say then those third party spare parts shouldn't exist
