Free Software and Open source and capitalism

Show all headers | View raw

Hello,

I was thinking more and more and i think that Open source and
Free software has develloped in reaction to capitalism, the capitalist 
system do parcipate to social darwinism cause you can not climb the 
social ladder if you don't have enough money to pay for the operating 
system and for the compiler and for the database system etc. and to pay
for leaning and if you don't have enough money you can not cross or 
climb the social ladder, so the capitalist system is very bad for the 
weaker humans amongs us humans, this is why the Free software and Open 
source have come in reaction to the captalistic system that do 
participate a lot to social darwinism, so the "intentions" of  Free 
software and Open source are good i think, cause they have tried to help 
the weaker humans among us that do not have money to buy softwares
and operating systems or to pay for learning... but i think the Open 
source and Free software have failed since if the software is free and 
doesn't cost money it will make the life difficult for developpers that 
wants to sell there softwares, so i think that even the Open source and
Free Software are  thus participating to social darwinism.



Thank you,
Amine Moulay Ramdane.
