About FOSS and Software Piracy

A post in my friend Jo’s Blog brought me back into thinking about FOSS and Software Piracy.

FOSS is great concept. I am running Debian Linux in my home PC which is pretty good for all my day to day activities and entertainment. My wife loves using it for browsing the net and watching movies etc. She says “it never shows a blue screen” 🙂

In my opinion, one should use the applications which are helping him/her to achieve what he/she wants. If it is a commercial product, please pay for it.

In many cases, I have seen that people does not care when it comes to licenses and software piracy.we show an utter lack of respect to the developers or companies who develop these products.

If you are not finding it easy to pay for a software/operating system, at least try FOSS before jumping into software piracy. 🙂
