> Socialism and Capitalism isn't really applicable on non-tangible things. I agree, but that may not hold when we go out of our way to make things tangible with inventions like "intellectual property". FOSS is a continuation of this within the legal framework, it's trying to take the non-tangible software and make it something more solid that we can "touch" and play with. That said, I'd say it's more like philanthropy, no one is being forced to give anything away.
