Re: [Trisquel-users] My conceptual problem with my computer.

>With a proprietary system you cannot find out. Code is not available, can be  
obfuscated and you might be breaking the law if you try to find out how  
something works. With Trisquel you're welcome to browse the code, with an  
occasional comment or two and won't run into any legal issues.

I can find information about proprietary system with help of (un)official  
documentation and reverse engineering. For example, MS-DOS is very small and  
simple system, so experienced programmer could analyze it easily and  
completely. On other hand, nobody has enough of lifespan to do complete  
analyze of Trisquel source codes on his/her own. Figuratively, decryption of  
one encrypted book needs less efforts than reading of whole library of normal  
books.
