According to Gmail: Errors or weaknesses in software code are exploited by bad guys. Worse, other villains introduce features malveuillantes privateurs in their programs. For example, Windows, MacOS, iOS (in iThings), Flash Player, Kindle, Playstation 3. The features called "security" protect users against third parties, but only free software protects against developers. While I mostly agree with the last paragraph, I don't really see the point of this. 2012/2/18 Jerome Athias <jerome () netpeas com>

Pire encore, d'autres méchants introduisent des fonctionalités malveuillantes dans leurs programmes privateurs. Par exemple, Windows, MacOS, iOS (dans les iThings), Flash Player, Kindle, Playstation 3. Les fonctionalités dites « de sécurité » protègent les utilisateurs contre les tiers, mais seulement le logiciel libre les protège contre les développeurs. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USAwww.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
