Free Software
Posted on
I am a free software developer. I work on a couple of larger projects and also develop a few smaller tools independently. My primary motivations for working on free software are the reduction of duplication of effort and improving the accessability of knowledge. When proprietary software is produced, it may be well-written and well-documented but if it does not fit exactly with the workflow or use case that I would like to use it with, my only option is to reimplement the entire system save for a few changes that would make it more useful to me.
