Isn't repairing software free? One doesn't really need 'spare parts' for software.

- eastbound 3y agoWe just need the software to be open-source. Honestly, given the necessity to get security upgrades, I think companies would still buy an OSS windows with connections to repositories.
- pabs3 3y agoYou certainly do not have the rights or access needed to repair bugs in current software like Microsoft Office or obsolete software like the original WordPerfect. Copyright law blocks those rights and Microsoft/etc block access to the source code and information about compilers etc. Also the DMCA allows companies to technically block access to updating software on devices.
