I've always felt guilty by taking for granted the rare breed of virtuous humans that provide free excellent software without relying on advertising. Let's change that and pay, how much would I “lose” anyway?

    I’m confused, as I progressed in the article I started seeing many proprietary applications being mentioned, with “free software” did you mean libre or gratis?

      Ideally both. However, is “many” the correct word? How many proprietary applications did you count? And I’m not being ironic/sarcastic.

        Not the majority, but that’s why I was confused as if they were put there by overlooking the license, anyway it makes sense now. I enjoyed the article btw!

          Glad you enjoyed it, and your interaction is appreciated; I’m not immune to blunders so that’s why I asked.
