Open source is communism in an application. I can count on one hand the open source projects that are worth anything, the rest are pos. I vehemently oppose any open source stuff embedded into our applications.
Then why are you on the internet? Why are you on FR?

OK I wouldn’t go that far, there are many good open-source projects...
But the open source FANATICS think all software should be free for the masses!!
Most of these freaks I have met work on their pet open-source project while getting paid by someone else to do other things. We had one programmer who always spent half his day workign on an ‘esperonto’ translator...
When you ask them who will feed their children if they were required to program for free- how do they make money? they answer “TECH SUPPORT”!!!
I guess tech support for the crapware they write should NOT be “free for the masses”
You must have a LOT of fingers.
MP3, Windows, Mac, Linux, internet, tablets, smartphones, GPS, 3-D printing, etc. etc. etc. Do you have a round tire? That sure seems like "open source stuff embedded in our applications."
Open source software is just another production model. If it produces the best code for the best value, that code should be used. Competition includes the voluntary production of products by means that are considered radical.
