That's a strawman argument. Of course you have a right to the code if it's free (as in freedom) software - that's the point!. If it isn't you don't. The parent

That's a strawman argument.
Of course you have a right to the code if it's free (as in freedom) software - that's the point!. If it isn't you don't. The parent was pointing out that many people feel that they have a right to the source of closed source software because of FOSS. Which they don't.
- pingswept 17y agoThat's a good point. Despite being something of a FOSS zealot myself, I agree that I have no rights whatsoever to the source of closed source software. I tend to shy away from closed source software for that reason, but so what-- I shy away from horror movies, fax machines, and American cars as well.
