A: I can't predict the future but I want to remind you that the dotcoms were businesses. And free software is not primarily a business. There are some free software businesses. Whether they will succeed or ultimately fail, I don't know. But those businesses, while they contribute to our community, they are not what our community is all about. What our community is all about is having the freedom to redistribute and study and change software. A lot of free software is developed by volunteers, and the amount is increasing. No matter what happens with the companies, that's not going away.
