Adobe Lightroom iOS update permanently deleted users' photos:
A recent update to the Adobe Lightroom app permanently deleted some iOS users' photos and presets, an Adobe rep confirmed on the Photoshop feedback forums. Adobe has since corrected the issue, which was first spotted by PetaPixel, but not before drawing the ire of many disappointed users.
[...] Needless to say, users who had just lost photos and presets were not happy. "Rikk, we understand the announcement, however this doesn't solve the problem," wrote Ewelina Wojtyczka. "People lost months/years of their work. Apologies will not bring it back."
Adobe hasn't further commented on the bug outside Flohr's post. [...] While Adobe shouldn't be let off the hook for this error, perhaps the importance of multiple backups is the hard lesson we can learn from this.

There is no legal justification. Like all freetards, he wants everything for free and thinks that people will magically volunteer their time on an increasingly complex project that will also magically be able to decide what direction to take, what features to add and drop, etc.
All this ignores the fact that anyone can download the source today and do what they want with it, including making a fork. It's not like it hasn't been done before. Problem is sustainability. Without the elephant (google) providing 95% of their revenue to keep them alive as a competitor for antitrust concerns (same as Microsoft bailed out Apple ) they would be broke by the end of next year.
Making ends meet has always been a problem in the open source world. Even today, when traditional software companies are making money hand over fist.

If you don't like free software, don't use it.
Your silly shrill rant is still bullshit
And I remind you this isn't about Firefox. Cut the crap with the distractions

Even if adobe said "fuck it, here's our source, hope you choke on it" they can't release 3rd party code, libraries, etc. They can't even release the code interface specs because those are also owned by 3rd parties.
It's the same as when you and all the other idiots demanded Microsoft release the source of Windows 7. Even if they did, you would not be able to run it because of 3rd party code and libraries they can't release. And it's not like "the community " has the resources to replace those - again, lack of money money money, always money.

You are so completely off base with this Firefox rant. It does not relate in any fashion to what I am advocating. You're just poisoning the forum with that crap, trying to divert the discussion.

barbara hudson is one of the biggest trolls on this site. For some reason she seems to have some bone to pick with open source, especially the GPL. I don't think she's so much shilling, but rather is just incredibly ignorant. One of her favorite tactics is to pick on some specific open source project, in this case Firefox, then use it that to try to paint broad strokes about open source in general. I would just ignore her.

I can't discuss her condition without knowing if it's shtick or not. Her real name could be "Eliza" for all we know. I don't mind keeping it occupied for a while, it's a slow day
