Robert McLaws talks about Free software in his blog post here. Wonderful post. He just said the truth of life. How will be the software engineers will be paid if the world continue to support Free Softwares? To some extent, free softwares should be there. I mean, to the extent of getting some goddies after you buying an expensive product in a showroom. That is okay with me. But that expensive product which is being developed after putting a lot of man hours of work, should be sold, not thrown as free.
Write softwares, Sell them, don’t throw them for free, if you feel you had put a lot of efforts / man power into the development. Enough said! Comments welcome!
Microsoft also support the idea of OpenSource to the applications developed.
http://www.codeplex.com is a wonderful site where you can see a lot of activities / initiatives / development happening on OpenSource softwares / utilities.
