- Spivak 2y agoI mean time has proven over and over that Gates and Microsoft were right. If your business is developing and selling software to businesses then you want a proprietary license and usually to give it away for non-commercial use. If your business is selling direct to consumer then you need a proprietary license, no source available, and probably DRM. If your business is something unrelated to software, and uses software as a means rather than an end then OSS is your friend.
