I then resist + Free Software in Venezuela

by on feb.27, 2011, under Computer , Community , Economy , Internet , Microsoft , Venezuela

As I always say, the use of free software is not a technical problem if not ethical, that is the detail I would say the famous Cantinflas. If you could bring free software into a mathematical formulation, would be as follows:

S oftware = Free (Freedom + Sovereignty + Ethics) ^ Consciousness

But in terms of media power is concerned, we can not deny that the world of proprietary software houses manage them very well [and resources], denigrating and underestimating the free software movement and sometimes terrorizing the population to prevent its use. With the development of free software with better and more successful communication strategies, free software has become a major headache for digital jailers and hegemonic. It is no coincidence that large corporations like Google, IBM and Sun have migrated much of its technology platform to free software [GNU / Linux, Python, Ruby, MySql], supporting or taking advantage of the global free software movement to improve their business models . If you want to know the strategies and practices monopolistic Microsoft can look at the so-called Halloween Documents to get an idea.

When I analyze the business strategies of proprietary software, I begin to realize a constant: the phasing of the rights of users, and therefore their digital prison, let's put it well when we buy or give us a pair of shoes, we can use at will, after much use, we can send them to change the sole or staining, you may give away a brother or acquaintance you need, at the last pair of shoes is ours and we can do with them what they want. Is that true with proprietary software?, Because obviously not, first of all do not buy proprietary software, since we can not give it away, or lend, or adapt it, let alone copy it, so I really do not buy only what you ask on loan to the software company [a loan that is very expensive by the way], in the end when you go to a store and buy a proprietary software, really what you're buying is the case, with its beautiful and thoughtful design called the attention of users., not at all are buying the software, since the end you can not do anything with it, nothing would do with something that was yours truly.

To take an obvious example for all, now there have been efforts to promote open formats and interfaces that enhance the interoperability between systems from different manufacturers. In contrast to this Office takes its latest version of the form (. Docx,. Pptx. Etcx) which not only restricts the interoperability with other office suites such as OpenOffice if it determines that additional support from the same office suite earlier [+ $ $ $] leaving organizations vulnerable and tied to a technology that expires very quickly just for more money. Not to mention the restrictive and exclusive technologies with Apple's audio and video devices that force you to use just something that is well identified with the rotten apple [it's my way or the highway]

Choose examples to explain the disadvantages of a country like ours to use proprietary software. I go with another example imagine we have all the digitized data of the birth of a country under the Office format, [so sure = S] while we are on good terms with Microsoft and paying the license we can use our information, but imagine the disaster would happen if this information quedase kidnapped and thus unavailable for a reason as simple as that decided to change office solution [migration issues in the light] or simply are included in the blacklist of the axis of evil, as is well described in this article is free software is a matter of sovereignty and independence no cost. There are other interesting and innovative ways to explain the concepts of free software and copyleft, such as the project OpenCola

by on Feb.22, 2011, under Adobe , Android , Motorola , Tablets
