"and as i said, i would gladly buy software if it wasnt closed down shite which i can not fully utilize. Im a software developer myself, and i ofcourse wish to get paid, and when i deliver some project to my clients, its with full source code and rights. not some restrictive license."
Sounds like you're delivering custom solutions, where it's standard practice to hand over the source code to the client. Big deal. Selling software to the masses is a different story altogether. Oh, and if you don't like the "restrictive license" that a developer uses, then you're free to simply not use that developer's software. Disagreeing with the "restrictive license" doesn't make it ok for you to simply use the software for free.
