    Proprietary (nonfree) Software.

    People still peddle the “muh intellectual property” and “I gotta feed my kids in this fast-paced economy” even though these are irrelevant to software freedom.

    An alarming majority (at least in the US) are ignorant of this conflict at all. The money is so distorted in the IT industry that it’s tantamount to theft. The skeletons in Congress don’t have a single clue.

      How does it work? Labouring for free and still feeding your family I mean, from the point of view of the developer.
