To claim that one should give away software for free, and make money on
"support", "because it's a service economy" is equivilent to denying that
creativity has value - instead postulating that only labor has value.

This is evil.

It was the major mistake of the communist realm not to understand that
wealth can be CREATED from mere thought.  Assuming that there is a fixed
amount of wealth in the world, and trying to figure out how to divide it
up "fairly", is a task doomed to failure.  Instead, build a society that
encourages the creation of NEW wealth.
