once people laughed at me for saying “why dont we have open day to day appliances ?” open source s/w people go — “duh ! h/w is open …” such a narrow minded pov is not sustainable and biased. atleast this is what i have experienced in my locality. possibly several reasons are responsible for such reactions.
