He is right and it's the very same reason why open-source and free-software should be used in scientific research.
- ragnese 6y agoThat's a whole other can of worms, too. How about reproducibility and transparency? How do I know the math is correct when I don't know what MATLAB/whatever is actually doing under the hood?
- gr2zr4 6y agoExactly! But, moreover: how can my research be reproducible if someone else can't afford to buy that specific software? Or if the software's version I used is outdated and the updated one does not read the old one's files?
