That's still leaves you dependent on a corporation. I prefer a world where they no longer exist because it isn't economically viable anymore.

    Why? An old copy of photoshop 7 or CS has no dependancy on any corporation. Even if Adobe goes bankrupt, the pirated old versions still work perfectly. You're just missing the AI tools the newer versions have, which is a bonus because, again, fuck AI.

    You're still dependent on Adobe if you use a clone of their software which has been cleanroom reverse engineered and re-implemented. And then it needs to happen all over again when Adobe releases a new version. It's just a Rube Goldberg way of getting Photoshop and the clone is probably a buggy mess.
