> Do I have the power to change the world in this direction or not?

No, but you can make a tiny change by helping just a couple people switch to FLOSS tools. The ocean consists of drops; the actual change happens after thousands of tiny changes like that. Keep up the great work.

This really helped plus all the other comments as well. I am still going to advocate software since that's something I am passionate about but I might actually reconsider writing all of my software open source.

Like I wonder if sometimes writing a software and then publishing it and then donating the money could be more beneficial of sorts and advocating for source and helping anyone to learn anything they want/help them along the way as well.

(Side note but I will create some articles about some stuff as well, will need to do work on my writing!)

What are your thoughts?

  • Thank you for the willingness to help the free software community! People like you also inspire me to believe in its future.

    This sounds really promising. I recommend GPLv3 or, better, AGPLv3 license to make sure that anybody making changes to your software will have to share them, too.
