Because it leads to massive profit. I don't think it's pure altruism motivated by a desire to give better user experiences.
- bmj 17y agoIt's not just about the money, though. How is free/open source supposed to gain traction, if not by people saying "hey, this is good!" If no one "markets" a piece of software, how you know about? How did _you_ find out about the tools you use?
- WilliamLP 17y agoAgreed, but I was just pointing out a clear non-sequitur in the parent post. People should use logic when making a point.
