You mean software that encourages money hoarding? If that's your preference, then go for it.
Personally I'd prefer to know I'm using software that encourages money sharing.
- alextingle 13y agoI get the feeling that you have no idea what we are talking about in this thread. "mattl" said "software sharing", and you immediately assume that he meant "money sharing"??
- engrenage 13y agoI get the feeling that you didn't read what I wrote. I made no such assumption. Mattl likes to use open source software because he thinks it encourages software sharing. I actually agree with that, and have non-trivially contributed to and consumed open source software in my work. However I don't agree that all software should be open source because that discourages people from sharing money with programmers. What I object to is not the idea of open source, which is a great thing. It's the fundamentalism and moralizing against anything which does not completely fit some idealogue's definition, and yet which also provides great value.
