OST to PST Converter Software


This program has multiple fatal flaws:
- it is proprietary (user-subjugating) software (this alone is sufficient to disconsider it for any use); see https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html why this is bad.
- it carries proprietary dependencies (Microsoft Windows) see https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/when-free-depends-on-nonfree.html why this is bad.
- it furthers people's dependency on proprietary software (Microsoft Outlook) thus feeding the problems raised by the above.
- proprietary software is often malware (see https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/proprietary.html for more on this).
and this program has nothing to do with LibreOffice, a free software office suite that runs on multiple OSes (most importantly, the free software OSes). Why was this proprietary software ad posted here?
