There are all kinds of licenses. If your requirements include "proprietary,
closed-source and immutable software", then Linux is not for you.
I'm sorry if this is the first time you have heard this.
With all due respect, sir, you don't know jack about my requirements,
limitations, and objectives, or what environment I work in, or what
tools are available in my field, or what I may or may not be in a
position to do about it.
But feel free to pass judgment anyway. After all, it's a simple world
out there, black and white are all you need to know. No room here for
nuance or complexity. If I'm not 100% with you, then I must be with the
enemy.
Pass the kool-aid...
