Old Closed Source vs New Open Source
OLD the software is closed source but we will give you symbols for free You're evil! Boo! Monopolist! NEW the software is open source ...but impossible to compile. pay for the support contract lmao Awesome! Bravo! We want more!
A two-panel cartoon contrasts old and new software models. In the old version, closed-source software gives away symbols for free and is criticized as evil and monopolistic; in the new version, open-source software is impossible to compile and requires paying for a support contract, yet people applaud it and demand more. The joke mocks contradictory attitudes toward software licensing and open-source projects. EN: A two-panel cartoon contrasts old and new software models.
