---------------
I had only one major correction for him - he used the phrase 'Copyrighted
Software' to describe 'Proprietary Software'. I felt he should've stuck to
Proprietary itself;
I agree that, in the 2nd part I have used the term Copyright software
few times to mean the proprietary software.
The below quote from www.gnu.org would justify why I have used the
term copyright software for proprietary software.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/
"Proprietary software developers use copyright to take away the users'
freedom; we use copyright to guarantee their freedom. That's why we
reverse the name, changing ?copyright? into ?copyleft.?
