- from “why foss?” to “how foss?”
Why FOSS?
- there’s an ecosystem around computer stuff, too.
- if FOSS is renewable organic sustainable, then proprietary is plastic industrial exploiting
- proprietary software cannot be re-used (like plastic), only thrown away and replaced, whereas FOSS code can outlive its project.
- if you depend on software
- how much do you value IT? => how long do you want/need IT to work properly?
