Open Source Software

I was able to choose the topic for my senior paper, that was why I choose the topic "why open source software is better than closed source/proprietary software". Although I wish I would have read all of the Open Source Directive and compared with the GNU Manifesto to see which I really agreed with before writing about one or the other. Read my intro to find out what my paper will highlight.
Please give me your thoughts! I am really looking to improve it. I will also be giving a presentation on this so I will include my speech.
I intentionally did not include a copyright on this material. But I am still thinking about this so please send me your thoughts on this subject too.
my email is k0nd0r@myrealbox.com and here is my GPG public key.
