Actually, for proprietary, I'd leave out "closed source" and "don't tinker".

And being even more pedantic, "proprietary" comes from "property", meaning "owned" - and that INCLUDES LINUX! Okay, we don't use that word that way any more, but we can thank the marketing slogan "Unix is Proprietary, Windows is Open" for that ...

Cheers,
Wol
