Hi Jonetsu,

in most cases you have to pay to use proprietary software. I'm pretty
sure that this could be considered a limit ;-)

For the other 3 points you answered (more or less) "No, I don't care",
...but I care!

My questions come from the free software definition published by the
Free Software Foundation in 1986 and if, after 30 years the definition
is still there, I think that we can say that free software and
proprietary software are different.
