Dilution of the term "Open Source?"
  • seems like someone tried to solve a problem by declaring

    "open source ≈ freesoftware"

    You can compile a binary by using the provided code and it gives you a binary, yes.

    you modify the code, compile, sell the binary, because "they provided the code" opensours.org said "it means free software" "free as in freedom" so "I am free to do whatever I want with this software." "

    That is untrue. I can open source my product for a reason, but if anyone try to sell it it's a crime. I openenly show everyone my source code, but without the right licence it's nothing. often you can't even compare it to the software running.

  • What devices run with free firmware?

    You can run a free OS pretty effortless, but when wanting 100% free software, you have to dig deeper and replace the proprietary BIOS firmware.

  • so it's a publicly traded commodity. are there texasmegawatts or what? are there less texasmegawatts then before? because if not, this is how it works. they gain capital, can cheaper lend capital, buy efficient texasmegawattsfacilities.
