If the efficiency of the FOSS model makes software cheap or free,

I agree with DumFSck that it's whacked to not understand the need for
proprietary software. It's needed. The closed-source model is simply
better for many specialized and cutting-edge applications. Money
drives priorities. Freedom includes the freedom to make and sell
"black boxes". There's nothing wrong with any of that.
I understand the need for it, people have uses for the bloated apps
like Office and Photoshop, that's fine, I had fun trying out Photoshop
for example, but at the end of the day, it's not worth continually
paying for, GIMP is all I really need, I'm not a professional
photographer. Linux gives me a system that reflects my priorities.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
