Default Free plans? Open source plans?

Wrong. There are lots of folks getting paid to work on open source software.
I've occasionally even been one of them.


I should clarify: most of the bad experience I've had with open source
is a result of people NOT being paid to work on it. Therefore there is
no motivation to create a really good product, generally.

I have objections to copyleft.

I have no objections to collaboration.

I don't like bad software. I don't like software running aircraft.

I'd prefer a live human being to make mistakes than a software program
to run an airplane into the ground. Which has happened before and will
happen again.
