Proprietary Quotes - BrainyQuote

Proprietary software is an injustice. Richard Stallman

Change, Power, Study, Software, Others

Black, Believe, Think, You, Country, Way

One reason you should not use web applications to do your computing is that you lose control. It's just as bad as using a proprietary program.

You, Bad, Lose, Control, Copy, Own

Strong, Feel, Important, Copy, Apple

The iPod is a proprietary integrated product, although that is becoming quite modular. You can download your music from Amazon as easily as you can from iTunes.

Work, Music, You, Worry, Apple, iPhone

Best, Doing, Software, Lock, Through

Growth, Process, Secrets, Hacking, Some

You, Hands, Software, Web, Somebody, Use

You, Never, Potential, Software, Tell

The idea of free software is that users of computing deserve freedom. They deserve in particular to have control over their computing. And proprietary software does not allow users to have control of their computing. Richard Stallman
