Software freedom is important.

[jbn-o]

Not everyone is a programmer. Some folks recognize the value of good proprietary software that does what it says it will do and comes at a reasonable price.

But that's just the problem: only the proprietor really knows everything that proprietary program is doing. One cannot truly judge how good the program is without knowing what it does or having someone you trust know what it does. There's no way to assess the trustworthiness of proprietary software. One need not be a programmer to understand the dangers of secrecy.

Remember, software licenses aren't grounds for holy wars for most folks.

I would not be so quick to dismiss the importance of Free Software. Slashdot readers have seen significant failures of proprietors who care more about their bottom line than your privacy and the integrity of your system.
