The true genious is bill gates who invented closed source software in 1976 letter to the hobbyist.<p>Now everybody cannot think of sofware as naturally different than propietary.<p>Hence giving an opportunity for a natural monopoly. Bill gates used security an argument a lot, and only became a little more secure by using permissive open source or buying software from poorer concurrent that had no good backup from their banks.<p>Bill gates is the baron de Beaumarchais of computers : whining about being riped of software he did not created because people would give the interpreter so that their code could be used.<p>A right on the second creation.<p>Just for the record Beaumarchais, whining for special treatment as an artist. He was a smuggler, a weapon dealer, a baron, an aristocrat, and a revolutionary AND he created the fundamental rights of authors.<p>The true fundation of liberalism: as long as it works for me, let&#x27;s do revolution.
