Why use/make Free Software?
-
Free Software does not restrict its users
-
Free Software may be shared; there is no copy protection to subjugate its users
-
It is much harder to integrate hidden backdoors into Free Software because its source code is available to the public
-
This aspect is especially important for safety-critical applications like encryption software like Lokkat because you have to be able to trust a software in order to let it handle sensitive data
-
If a software was not quite to your liking because it lacked some special features you could build them in yourself or hire someone to do so
