A lot of modern videogames use art assets and define gameplay behavior with JSON. Stallman says proprietary data and art is allowed in free software.
- nwah1 6y agoTo the extent that corporations are capable of producing "Free Software" as defined by Stallman then I would find it likely that they would succeed, but the comment I replied to argued that commercial software was inferior and that seems obviously false outside of what I called "boring" stuff. But I think the boring stuff is really important and good, and wish more things became "boring" in the sense of being solved problems rather than open problems.
