It can't be secured if it's from a company from the US.

So when will he be put in jail for piracy?

People here highly underestimate the effect linux will have on society if it actually gets ANY marketshare.

Would you mind to explain more? Linux already got market share in the form of Android, what effect it has on society (as opossed to other OSes)?

Dont you mean free software?

Linux already has a great marketshare - Android - but no perceptible effect on society, most people dont still know what Linux is, and certainly not what freedom in software is about. Which sucks, but thats the way it is, and once that changes, then we're in for great times.

It's open source. Fund it and it'll get ported to other platforms =)

I don't see how hemlis is worse though? It's even better since it's funded.

It's worse because:

  1.) It's not open source
  2.) They want to charge for certain features that are free in surespot.
      (on top of the $100k they're already asking for)
  3.) They wont let you run your own server

#1 and #3 does not make it worse. #2 might not either depending on what that feature is.

For an encryption app? I'd almost argue that not being able to access the source code makes it a non starter. There's no way to guarantee a lack of backdoors otherwise.

Because they have realised that it will be worthless if it can't get any marketshare.
