I guess it's not clear to me why (at least in the 'first world') it's wrong for quants and engineers to pay something for the tools they use. (i have spent a fair amount of time contributing to open-source, so I've no problem with OS generally, but I also don't think their is anything wrong with the folks at Matlab getting paid for their efforts. Quants are sure as hell getting paid for theirs).
- jhasse 8y agoI just think that Matlab shouldn't be taught at universities.
- poster123 8y agoI agree that Matlab has a right to be paid for its product, but it is still nice to have a free alternative.
- ljw1001 8y agoThe better the free software, the greater the exploitation by other people making a bunch of money on it, while the devs work nights and weekends for nothing. I don't have a solution, but there it is.
