RICHARD: I don't know what you mean by "under-produced." We see that some people develop free software and some don't. So we could imagine more people developing free software and, if so, we'd have more of it. But, you see, the tragedy of the commons really is a matter of overuse. And that's something that can happen maybe with a field, but it doesn't happen with software; you can't overuse a program, you don't wear it out. So, really, there's no analogy there.
