Software developers are also more likely than most to be "free software people". I for one am excited to see Kite go open source; if it's truly open, including the underlying recommendation models and algorithms, I will be happy to use it and set up a monthly donation for whoever wants to keep working on it.
- eikenberry 4y agoExactly. Non-free software is always paying for a service. If you don't get the source (and the ability to use it) you don't get the software. The source code is the software... the binary is an merely way to access a small part of it.
- dazzawazza 4y agoI don't care about software licenses. I'm a contractor. I pay for software that makes me better at my job AND I trust the vendor will support ME. My time is valuable to me and my clients.
- eikenberry 4y agoNever said you should or shouldn't use those services, just that you are paying for a service and not buying software.
