If your idea of "better" must be forced by a law, it's not better, you're just being a nazi. I have a genuinely better alternative for you: just don't run sucky software. Go install base OpenBSD on a potato, it has everything you need to be productive with a computer, including no web browser at all (not even lynx). It has two text editors: vi and mg, both excellent choices for hacking on C, Perl or shell. It has a toolchain, and loads of extremely well-written documentation. It comes with the full source code and a permissive license. Go write great software - if it has any value, people will prefer it over sucky alternatives, no stupid regulations required. <3,K.
