You didn't get it. :( I tried to get you to realize that your arguments
against 'Usability Standard EI Informatics' are as weak as they are for Free
Software. And you did answer yourself again.
Anyway, I respect you to think freely.
" It is always possible. Proprietary software could be illegal (it harms our
freedoms)... but we are not there yet. " - I agree. The only government, to
who my power would confer, must act this way.
Discuss about the different between simply features and liberty features -
maybe in another thread.
When I talk about 'freedom of use',I just say that freedoms achieved for
developers by means of Free Software must be extended to users (all kind of
users).
And finally,
" Proprietary Software is written in a 'different' language that programmers
don't understand, right?
Wrong. Any programming language can be used to write any software, free or
proprietary. If the language is compiled (such as C), then a binary (that
corresponds to the source code) is created and is not human-readable. The
binary can be free or proprietary. Now, if the binary is free, that means the
corresponding source code is distributed to the users (freedom 1 or 3 require
that). If the binary is proprietary the source code is (typically) not
distributed to the users, who therefore are helpless. But, you see, the
difference is not technical. At all. " - You didn't get it again. I said the
same as above, maybe a person can't speak a spoken (or programming) language
in the same way developers can't free proprietary software.
I realise your opinion, I exposed mine. Thanks.
