Except the problem is probably more like they're being offered a discount for artificially restricting their freedom, because the entrepreneur is taking the up-front risk of development and banking on the later growth of the sales to receive the return. Without understanding the risk/return model, you can't really understand the benefits to developer (and user, in fact) of the proprietary model, and are unlikely to overcome it :) Cheers, Alex. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
