Just a few years ago, people said the same thing about software &mdash; that nobody would write programs without having a monopoly on them. The Free Software movement has proved that this is not true, and in the process, we have refuted that general assumption. Selfishness is not the whole of human nature. One kind of intellectual work, at least, CAN be done without a monopoly on the results.
