Wozniak pro-open-source comments

The Stanford Inquirer has an interesting interview with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The whole thing is worth reading, but what caught my attention was this little digression on open source software:

I just favor the whole concept of open source as being a way that companies can be not entrapped by proprietary software. And one thing we do find is that anytime you’re using something that’s proprietary, you do wind up being pretty trapped, as much as they can trap you.

Remarkable words coming from somebody so strongly associated with proprietary systems.
