Revolution OS

This time I'm going to talk about this video called "Revolution OS", and it's about Operating Systems and free software. This was a very interesting video that shows you both parts of the "problem", so you can take the best of both and judge as you wish. And choose what "kind" of software you want to use.

We all know that developing software it's expensive, so we get why we should pay for them, but in this video they show another part, "free software". A little bit more social, benefit for everyone, all about sharing and improving everything just for a good reason. If you have to pay for hardware, why would you have to pay for software too?

Something that I didn't know about free software that is said on this video is the part that free software is copyrighted, but they call it "copy-left", setting that you can share and improve the code as long as when you do it, the same rights applies for the "new code".

Another important part was the difference between "open source" and "free software". "Open Source" is about letting everyone having a distribution and being helpful with it, respecting the author and allowing everyone to have the code, they mention the definition and points of what makes software to be "open source".

I think that we all have the right to chose what we want, if we want to pay for software or not, but it's important to analyze what we need, and how you get what you want or need, I mean, yes, you can get a free tool and use it, and sometimes even modify it, but if you are going to get private software then you should pay for it and accept what you are going to get. Some people may be comfortable with one and some people with the other.
