The 1.7 cubic decimeters of human brain uploading Free Software Filosophy truly contains no epsilon of simple Free Software Salience. This whole philosophy for all but the prophets and psychics among us denies convergence in calculations germane to any of the least of its actual repercussions. Consider the megabytes of philosophy the FSF churns out monthly. Why?
Why do IBM and the like especially commit serious corporate capital to GPL'd code? Not speaking of this hybrid half hearted closed/open stuff, but to the real visceral Stallmanesque utopian ideal. Why? Do they garner geek karma from GPL thinking software dudes? Why pour millions explicitly into GPL'd stuff? What is the real cash flow in commercial GNU/Linux development? Why refuse non-free software? What is free root beer? Is it flowing? When will it stop? The market may prove us all wrong.
