Hi.

I noticed this old post here:

QUOTE:
"Stallman does not care about
business.  But others do.  "Open Source" has been one way to sell
corporations their own downfall in a veiled manner.  It has taken a
brutal but effective toll on stock market and the corporations.  Free
Software is nothing that you can easily profit from.  But it is
something that will prevail. "

Does this mean that one of the goals of Free software is to destroy
software as a source of money, hence requiring people to resort to
other forms of business to obtain money that might be much more
difficult to start up? (hence limiting them to only people _born_ into
wealth?!)

Or am I just too paranoid or way off base in my interpretations here?
