The phrase is "information wants to be free", not "information wants to be $10/month". If this was an FOSS project anyone could access freely I would have much less of a problem with it.
- tzs 4y ago> The phrase is "information wants to be free", not "information wants to be $10/month" Actually it is kind of both. The full phrase was "Information Wants To Be Free. Information also wants to be expensive. ...That tension will not go away", from Stewart Brand's "The Media Lab: Inventing the Future at MIT". That was a more succinct expression of something he said earlier to Steve Wozniak at a conference: > On the one hand you have — the point you’re making Woz — is that information sort of wants to be expensive because it is so valuable — the right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information almost wants to be free because the costs of getting it out is getting lower and lower all of the time. So you have these two things fighting against each other.

It surely must be stopped and punished, or no license will ever be respected again. MS is taking OTHER PEOPLES CODE and using it ways those people explicitly do not allow and putting it in a walled-garden tool for paid access: license violation as a service.
