>It would be impractical and completely insane to expect everyone to work for free. Do you have any examples of him saying that code should be free of cost. As far as I know he has no problem with people charging for programs, only that the source code should be made available to recipients, along with rights to modify and redistribute (the latter obviously poses problems for business-schemes based upon artificial scarcity). I also seem to recall him arguing for micropayment schemes to be used to finance developers (and artists), this is something which could perhaps become a reality in the (hopefully not too distant) future, as shown by successful kickstarter type projects like for example openshot: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/421164014/openshot-video-editor-for-windows-mac-and-linux http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/421164014/openshot-video...
