Page "Eric S. Raymond" Paragraph 6

Raymond says he began his programming career with writing proprietary software, between 1980 and 1985.

In a 2008 essay he " defended the right of programmers to issue work under proprietary licenses because I think that if a programmer wants to write a program and sell it, it's neither my business nor anyone else's but his customer's what the terms of sale are ".

In the same essay he also said that the " logic of the system " puts developers into " dysfunctional roles ", with bad code the result.
