What about people who spend a lot of money educating themselves to write
/learn abt coding. What about people who want to consider code'ng a
professions? Unfortunately you cannot compare free air to this.

Aha, nice thought, but back up a bit and consider the consequences. The
GNU movement has so many able programmers rite now as most of them have
*real* jobs in the computer world (mostly as progammers). Rite now they
don't have to worry when the next meal is coming from.
But imagine a situation, where all software is free. Where would you earn
your living? There would be no incentive for people to get into the CS
field . Doing free programming is a nice, but then money is needed , ain't
it?
Capitalism rocks aint it? :))))
