That's capitalism, the American way.  Whether or not they want to admit 
it, many Linux advocates are promoting a form of Kropotkin-style 
anarchism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Kropotkin).  I'm not 
afraid to admit it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchist_communism

"In anarcho-communism, profit no longer exists. Not only that, but goods 
are given away as gifts in the certainty that others will also give 
products back (in an industrial setting, this would occur between worker 
syndicates as well as between individuals). If one syndicate does not 
share their products, they will not receive resources from other 
syndicates, making it in their best interest to share."
