I get the feeling that you didn't read what I wrote. I made no such assumption. Mattl likes to use open source software because he thinks it encourages software sharing. I actually agree with that, and have non-trivially contributed to and consumed open source software in my work. However I don't agree that all software should be open source because that discourages people from sharing money with programmers. What I object to is not the idea of open source, which is a great thing. It's the fundamentalism and moralizing against anything which does not completely fit some idealogue's definition, and yet which also provides great value.
