So you're saying that just because something is not opn source, there may be a problem with it? Wow, I guess people had better stop using Microsoft products, Blizzard products, EA products, Corel producst... ect. MOST things you come across in the coomputer world ar closed source. And I suggest you re-evaluate your ideals. Heck I don't swear, yet I can trust someone who does. If it were as you are stating, it must be very hard to find someone you trust.


Well, I am a software developer too! Why I have to open sources? Why I have to give out my hard-written code? The reason is to exchange ideas with other programmer! One of the reason is to let people know that your program won't do anything that is bad. Another bug reason is to give this as an example to the beginners and let them know how to write a program like this. This is very important! If everyone close their sources, the computer world won't grow up so fast! And this forum (FUDforum and the old phpbb2 are both open source) won't exist! Don't just think that programmer must be selfish! Programmers should share their works, because this help the whole computer world! As a user, you should support the open source network too! Not just because most of the open source programs are free, this is because they teach the next generation how to write programs! If there is not open source, I think your M$ Windows will cost > US$1000 because no one can challenge it! Think about it, open source really help the computer world a lot.
