  Not every single thing that’s non-FOSS is enshittified, sometimes things cost A Lot of money to develop and those involved deserve to be paid. A good example of such software is Arturia’s V Collection, a music/synthesiser program that requires access to original synths to recreate them. You own your license and can deregister it and sell your key to someone else.

    Idk about the software, but when I was trying to apply for an internship over there the other intern told me that everything was basically manufactured in china when it came to hardware, while being a “made in home country” company

    No, there is nothing wrong with selling libre software.

      Yes, and? In Arturia’s case, it would mean that their very expensive to produce software could be sold by a competitor.

        Think about that before making something no one asked for.

    I believe they’d prefer it to be free and open source software (FOSS). I’m not completely familiar with the terminology they used, but that’s what I gathered.

      No, ‘open source’ misses the point of libre software.
