ZDNET: “Open-source software, although viewed by some as
risky and uncertain, does empower users in ways that
proprietary software does not. Sure, many needs can be
satisfied by good-quality, reasonably priced proprietary

change source code and then redistribute those changes
is one of those things that some people are willing to fight
and make sacrifices for.”
