Good point... but likewise: just because an app is OSS doesn't mean it's data is portable.

- rmc 12y agoIt does. You can run any version of any OSS programme with or without any custom patches you write. You can obviously import that zip-of-csvs into that programme.
- eli 12y agoMaybe I phrased that poorly. All data that can be retrieved or viewed can also be exported with enough effort. But OSS doesn't guarantee that process will always be easy and hosted, closed-source doesn't guarantee it will be hard.
