@TheGNUfan Interesting, thanks for the info. Jeremy Allison seems to think free software and open source are the same thing. Also, I'm not a huge free software fan in the sense that I really don't see software as an issue of freedom as a big deal.Programmers who want to sell code and keep it from others who don't pay have the right to do so. It's not an issue of ethics and a hostile act that Stallman makes it out to be.
@TheGNUfan Just typing my thoughts for others who see this video. I understand you don't get source, just object code with the headers, a license to use, or nothing at all. On the issue of ethics, the way I stated it has nothing to do with ethics. To make myself clear...there is nothing unethical about proprietary software. To say that it's a hostile act when a person decides to keep information from you is ridiculous. Not every bit of information in this world needs to be out, open, and free.
When introducing someone to free software, I think it's good to elaborate that with proprietary software the user is getting only a license to use it, with free software the user gets more rights, a better deal. It's an insurance for the user, even if the original developer drops the project, someone else could take over.
The same way that I do. People pay you to create software that is useful to them. Get a contract to create the software, make sure they pay you - most likely they won't care if the resulting software is Free Software or not, so long as they get to use it. As a bonus it's likely they'll get enhancements for free if the code is Free Software, as others who find it useful will contribute.
Your huge breasts are turning me on, but the moment you started talking about Linux I lost interest. Good day.

Firefox is not free software. It's open source.

@Plissken07 You can install Gnuzilla Icecat. It's that same thing as Mozilla's Firefox, but with the non-free bits removed.

I am all for free software but how would someone like me, an indie developer make a living from creating free software?

First a blog (yes, I know they're articles!) and now video blogging! The end of the world is surely upon us. :)

It's not a video blog, it's an advert :-).
