Q: Just a general question on market forces and the free software economy. Even in an ideal world, wouldn't you say that, you know, because of the market forces and then we, you know, a group of players become especially successful, then they actually &mdash; even though it's an ideal world &mdash; they actually become powerful enough and they monopolize under standards again, and we come back to the same system we have today. So, I guess the question is that whether this product-type system economy we have, is that just a function of the structure we have, or is that, you know, a result of just market forces?
