Right. And as with most problems that have to do with capitalism, we will get exactly nowhere if we try to fix capitalism first. FLOSS was a hack from the start. It hacked the capitalist concept of copyright to turn it upside down, or dare I say rightside left? Because that's what hackers do. Hackers don't wait indefinitely for the evil system to fall once and for all. Like most protagonists of cyberpunk novels, they find tricks to make life less unbearable for themselves and those they care about even as the system resists change. Because after all, it is the only way to bring about any change at all.
