We could do away with that assumption. It's not descriptive of the reality, as plenty of commercial stuff isn't closed, and neither is plenty of sold stuff.
As a prescriptive position, that's not the future I want.
- BuckyBeaver 4y agoWhat's the difference between "commercial" and "sold," and what are some examples of either one for which full source is available?
- rhn_mk1 4y agoTBH I have no idea. Commercial stuff can be handed out for free, I guess? Look at Krita, OpenSUSE, RHEL, the software on the Librem 5, PinePhone, and Turris routers. Those are just from the top of my head.
- JetSpiegel 4y agoHow are any of those programs commercial? You don't pay for the software itself. Krita is donations, SUSE and RHEL is support, the others are hardware.
