Re: [libreplanet-discuss] 7 Reasons to Avoid Open Source?

[C.W. Epema]

I tried to post a comment, however a spam filter blocked my response.

My reaction was:

"
So, if Open Source or Free Software does not comply quality standards, 
according to your 'investigation', what will?
Closed Software?
Anyone is able to verify quality and integrity of Open/Free software. In 
contrast to closed software.
My suggestion is that you should take part in open projects, to suggest quality 
improvements, in stead of posting fake and possibly paid comments about one of 
the finest things humankind has come with: sharing knowledge
"
