It's official: Open-source software makes people happy and proprietary software makes people sad. Thus spake Greta, my five-year old daughter. Clearly she's a very smart child...

P.S. I have no idea why the only male in the picture isn't wearing a crown. Apparently, not only does my daughter dislike proprietary software, but she also dislikes males. Hmm....Is there a correlation?
