I'm coming late to this debate, but I side completely with
James. Imagine you spend thousands of hours and millions of dollars on a
project and then the government comes along and just copies you?
Note that government money is not freely given: people are coerced to
handover their money.
Also note that projects like this don't go to small companies: they go
to big players who are very good on feeding on the taxpayer.
If you call it emotional, call it scary: thinks like this scare me. One
day the government can come along and just take you out of businesses by
putting up a competing website.
