Why Big Corporations Hate Free Software

Free software is not a new term. When first programs were created they were free. But commercialism hits everything (that seems lucrative) eventually. If you create something you will definitely like to preserve its value. But its not fair when that "value" is mistakenly associated with "money". Software giants like Micro$oft always try to undermine free software initiatives.


Let us check out some points/scenarios to find out about why and how this happens!

Money flows in!
Capital is definitely the first reason. They are a software company whose obvious objective is financial profit --by hook or by crook. So the idea of free software is definitely disastrous to them. If people stop paying for software they would not exist anymore then.

We are greedy!
Greed is a universal trait not limited to time and place. It was there in dinosaurs... it is there in us too. Our greed is centered on money though. Big corporations take it to a new level by standardizing it. They train their employees to be voracious in terms of profit and do everything that's needful for that purpose. In terms of software industry that would mean making pacts with hardware vendors to create trouble for free software developers.

Let people remain dumb!
It is really easy to make dumb people pay for buggy software compared to their smarter counterparts. How to achieve that? Simple. Encapsulate the technology used behind a "user friendly" interface and spoon feeding the users about "where to click" so to say. If the users do not know (or don't care) about what the software does in the background they won't complain about their system being spied upon by the government, etc.

In simple words, they need minions and slaves --thanks to our stupid generation they are getting that easily. Seriously, I have heard people proudly saying "I don't know about computers anything more than using Facebook!"

Corporation for corporations!
A company strictly adhering to manuals full of policies and compliances would definitely prefer to install Internet Explorer over Mozilla Firefox. Why? In Internet Explorer you cannot install add-ons easily. In Firefox, you can customize. IE is essentially not free (it comes with Windows that you purchase). Firefox is free (both in terms of money and usage). Why take the risk of giving the employees freedom to install what they want when the company can impose its choice on them.

Illuminati.. !
Somebody's definitely laughing on the other end of this article. But mythical or not --the tyrannical point-of-view of freemason has nothing to do with the word "free" itself. Its rather laughable who gave this name - "free"-mason! However, even as ideology this (possibly) ruling dynasty of Devil worshippers also wants people to act as cattles. To mobilize billions of people with dynamic minds they first need to be fed with the notion and lifestyle of slaves. Since, we are using software on a daily basis now in our computers and phones, its a clever idea to mind control through software itself. And free software is obviously not going to be helpful in that.
