The only reason why a huge number of computer systems didn't fail was due to the immense expense and effort put into work to make the software operate after 1999 - which is why no-one said at the time; "On no, the hospital system totally collapsed and I have lowest priority on the triage - I'm going to die".
>that happened because of shit code, not because the code was proprietary.
Most proprietary code is dogshit and *will* eventually guillotine you if that is in any way possible.
>if it ran on free software but almost nobody contributes to the project besides a few indians it's highly likely that the same bug will have been uncaught until it happened
Most free software is developed by one developer and typically if that developer is competent, they usually deliver reasonable reliable software.
Also, unlike proprietary software, such kind of bug typically gets fixed when reporters.
Based off memory, the few free software developers that are also Indian that I'm aware of are quite competent.
>doesn't matter, building from source instead of buying your copy. enjoy having no sales
Blatantly false as pointed out before, but I'll point it out again; https://community.ardour.org/download
