Sorgente: Gratuito a Tutti i Costi | MadBob
Come tutti ben sappiamo, purtroppo, negli anni si è ampiamente diffuso il binomio “software libero = gratis”
…
Forse sarebbe opportuno provare a sopperire a questo luogo comune del software libero “gratuito a tutti i costi”, per dare maggiore risalto alle sue effettive proprietà, ed optare per una strategia di comunicazione anti-ciclica. Mentre tutti regalano (o almeno fingono di regalare, ma il risultato percepito è lo stesso…), si dovrebbe porre l’attenzione sul fatto che il software libero – in qualità di software, e dunque prodotto ingegneristico per la cui produzione sono necessarie risorse – abbisogna di supporto, certamente di carattere tecnico (patch, traduzioni e documentazione sono sempre molto gradite) ma anche e soprattutto di carattere economico.

Microsoft, Proprietary software
Growing your VirtualBox Virtual Disk
Most people simply had to deal with proprietary software that more or less runs exclusively on Microsoft OSes. For example when I bought my Dell laptop I used the Microsoft license that I grudgingly had to bought to create a fully legal installation into a virtual machine as the physical machine never ran it. I…

It’s actually over
Google’s corporate motto is “Don’t be evil“. For a convenient definition of “evil” it seems when you read news such as this: The default behavior of hotword, a new, black-box module in Chrome (and its free/open cousin, Chromium) causes it to silently switch on your computer’s microphone and send whatever it hears to Google.
