ESR, is that you?

All you did was repeat "free market" a bunch of times. Congratulations.



Besides that, I'm pretty sure when the free market sent down that 10 commandments thing it said not to go around using it's name in vain


Allow me to continue, then. Stallman's original problem was essentially, "I had a broken car once and I couldn't get the part I needed to repair it. That sucked, so all manufacturers should provide everyone with all the information needed make any replacement part."

In today's world that problem really doesn't exist anymore. Software is a mass market product, and the software that is produced already conforms to what people want pretty well. Sure, I'll take cheaper parts for my car, but on the list of humanity's problems, non-GPL software is very, very low.


Your ignorance is baffling. I won't continue to humor it.
