Hi,

having the the source code gives someone the ability do fix bugs or enhance 
software in the case the author does not want or cannot do this. Let us say 
DBase, Wordstar, Nextstep ....

I know lots of people that would never have used any kind of windows, if they 
have had the option of doing the necessary changes to their old Dos apps (or 
could have paid someone to do so).
