Portuguese post uses Lisbon safe analogy to explain free software

Original: Então dizia o Jeremias, a propósito de # Software > .. imagina que está um cofre com 1 milhão de euros algures na cidade

A Portuguese-language post is making the rounds with an analogy about free versus proprietary software. It imagines a safe with one million euros hidden somewhere in Lisbon: with proprietary code, you get only the city map; with free code, you also get the address and the key. The comparison is being shared as a simple way to explain software freedom.

Why now: The vivid safe-and-map analogy offers an accessible way to explain free software, resonating with Portuguese-speaking tech communities.
