Free software has the advantage that it does not depend on just one company and its interests. A free software community can maintain code longer and can port it to different platforms. The community benefits even if only some people actually modify the software. Example: At some point Google stopped doing 32-bit builds for Google Chrome browser (non-free software). Fortunately there is free Chromium browser that Debian (or any free software community) gives much better support for different architectures. -- /// Teemu Likonen - .-.. <https://keybase.io/tlikonen> // // PGP: 4E10 55DC 84E9 DFF6 13D7 8557 719D 69D3 2453 9450 ///
