The true genious is bill gates who invented closed source software in 1976 letter to the hobbyist.
Now everybody cannot think of sofware as naturally different than propietary.
Hence giving an opportunity for a natural monopoly. Bill gates used security an argument a lot, and only became a little more secure by using permissive open source or buying software from poorer concurrent that had no good backup from their banks.
Bill gates is the baron de Beaumarchais of computers : whining about being riped of software he did not created because people would give the interpreter so that their code could be used.
A right on the second creation.
Just for the record Beaumarchais, whining for special treatment as an artist. He was a smuggler, a weapon dealer, a baron, an aristocrat, and a revolutionary AND he created the fundamental rights of authors.
The true fundation of liberalism: as long as it works for me, let's do revolution.
