(not sure if help-gnu-emacs is the place ---)

What warranty comes with software?  That you like it?  That it works?  What
does works means?

You pays your money and takes your chances.

Or you get quality free stuff, which works and is changable (if necessary).

I don't see software vendors do anything useful except take your money and hide
source code.  They don't seem to fix bugs or let compentant people fix them.

I'm thankful for the quality offered in the GNU stuff (and the documentation is
very readable and useful).
