I guess you mean data lock in!!! Privacy itself is of supreme concern in OSS.
I get some doubts here regarding privacy. In GNU/Linux or any
other UNIX, the default file permissions are 755, which means that
anybody who logs into that system can read/execute any of our files.
This means that there is no data privacy by default, unless we change
the umask ? Or am I wrong ?
I feel that OSS's concern is more about data ownership than about
data privacy.
