I am sure they also have other jobs beside writing free software. To author only they would starve to death.

I was hoping you were more centrist.

I mean instead of demanding all books to be free online, I say no. The current system of copyright will guarentee the author a living and then after the time lapse, put it online free. You cannot remove the incentive of profit from any endeavor.

I wanted to let you know that the Christians didn't do all the damage. They also didn't give percentages but it sounded like the Muslims leveled it in the end.
