| Richard Stallman views proprietary software, and specifically software
| patents, as deliberate efforts to prevent people from helping each other. In
| this way people make money providing what someone else would gladly supply
| free. I think both file sharing and free software are evidence that people
| are naturally inclined to share and help, within certain constraints. The
| sharing communities have arisen within those constraints. If all this is
| accurate, then file sharing and open source come from a basic part of our
| social nature and are going to be very hard to eradicate - hysterical
| anti-piracy campaigns and patent-supported software behemoths
| notwithstanding.

| I was talking with a pal of mine yesterday out back in his workshop. He was
| making a beautiful piece of furniture and I was going on about the world
| which, of course, eventually led to a discussion of computer operating
| systems, open source, that kind of thing.

| As we both oooh'd and ahhh'd over it and ran our fingers over it I asked
| him, "So, Frank, how much you gonna sell this bad-boy for?" Frank just
| smiled. "I'm not selling this, I can't. You know, it's too much of me, to
| much soul, too much devotion. I could never sell this, I'd either keep it for
| myself or give it to someone I loved."
|
| "So, Frank, you mean like those Open Source developers?", I asked. And he
| smiled again. He got it. His smile got crooked and he said, "Yeah, ya bastid,
| just like those open source developers." You could almost see his epiphany.
