To interoperate with a
third-party product we need to use their
closed-source C++ libraries, which were built with the RH72 GCC 3.0
compiler. These libraries are compatible with nothing in the modern
world.
Quoting Richard Stallman, the quote I use in my USENET and mailing list
sig:
"Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the
program, he is your master."
Let some closed source program be your master, and you are forever
enslaved to the whims of its master -- until you break free of that closed
source bondage, anyway.
