Sure.

But what will rather happen is that the new generation will just rewrite
another program, possibly without caring about making it free software.

It's not a question of envy, but of making sure that on the long term
we still have a free operating system.  If we don't include the new

generation may just not care about picking up the task, we may then grow
old in a world with non-free software.
