I am developing a free software project. One question I get a lot from my parents about the project is “but how do you prevent someone from stealing this?”
I have my own ways of answering this, practically and philosophically, but I wanted to find out what other people say. If you’re put a lot of time into a free software and/or open-source project, and someone in your life has asked this question, how have you answered it?
