(OT) non-proprietary software merits
Greetings,
Today in CIS class, we talked about how software is kind of dangerous if it
isn't proprietary. Also mentioned was Shareware, Freeware and Public Domain.
Please realize, I use linux that is 'debianized' on both this box and on my
router/firewall. Yet I am really kind of amazed that these professional
instructors don't even know what GPL is or that they would recommend
proprietary software over anything else.
If you have some good info that you wouldn't mind sharing with me privately,
I would really like to collect a sample and present it to both my current
instructor and the staff of my college. I am not currently subscribed to
debian-users, so if you reply to the list, kindly add my address as a CC.
Thank you so much. I hope I can collect some useful information organized and
presented in a kind yet assertive way.
Best regards to all
