The problem is today everything has ToS, you get a ToS update in the email and if you do not like it you have to stop using the product, and lot of software this days require an account , and has online features or requirements. I got burned by Steam, I have a super old laptop with some old games on it, Half Life, so one day I got the laptop out, Steam updates and f** itself, the old system is no longer supported but they had to f** things up s the games won't work. I agree, open source is not required, but we need to own our software not rent it.

That's just a start but also require freezing your OS and have lots of spare hardware or have rights to emulate it :) And same with data - buyed songs for example :) Big industry already is killing media you can own - cd, dvd, blueray depends on outdated cpu, pendrives decay before becoming usefull backup media... In the age of asholess open sources and resources are best. Let's bring more viral licenses then GPL !
