[00:05] <Takyoji> What would your response be to a person that thinks favoring open source software as being a "cheap ass" (trying to go for anything that's lower in price regardless of quality) and that because you can edit source, but that it has no direct benefit to a standard user since a standard user isn't going to be modifying the source code ever?
[00:06] <Takyoji> It's kind of like how I think my brother perceives of open source as, from what I've observed.
[00:07] <Takyoji> Since supposedly anyone that's paid to develop it is supposedly a "professional".
[00:07] <Takyoji> which costs money, and supposed "there's no such thing as a free lunch"
[00:09] <Takyoji> I don't view it like that at all; but how would any of you try to clear up some of the misconceptions? Like, what points should be expressed?
