Authoritative arguments again: please explain to us in what ways rms' views belong to a "dream world". Do you agree that 1) the great majority of people make a living without developing software?; 2) among those that write software most of them do not distribute it (it has a single client: the employer)?; 3) that less users of proprietary software means more users (hence developments) of free software?; 4) that businesses (especially support business) around free software are thriving and those usually involve local jobs? Given that, could you demonstrate how proprietary software is "necessary" to the real world?
