There is nothing wrong with proprietary software as long as you realize
that it is a rental. Without the code you don't own it, so don't build
the core of your business on it. Like leasing a car. Nothing wrong
with that, but since I want to drive it until it has 300,000 miles, and
the wheels fall off, I want to own it. I don't have to keep paying
that way. I pay once, then I am free to maintain as I please.
