 I hope this thing works as intended. I have not looked through all of the other topics so perhaps this is redundant. My thoughts are a bit confused, so please criticize.

Like Professor Moglen, I think that human beings like to share. I wonder, though, if the abundance of free software is dependent on the large number of people who have studied computers for profit-seeking purposes. Creating software requires technical expertise. People sought this technical expertise in order to increase their monetary gains. If the computing industry becomes less profitable, there will be fewer computer programmers. There will, consequently, be fewer computer programmers to write free software. Ultimately, the removal of profiteering opportunities would reduce productivity.
