Does it do that?

Hi.

Does free software make it more difficult for people to make a profit
(even an *honest* one, not Microsoft-style) from their computer
programming skills and talents? If so, how is it good? People should
deserve to be able to make honest money, and to use their talents to
do that. Computer programming, for one, does not require very much
starting capital compared to other forms of business.

If not, then does the reluctance to accept free software indicate a
want to be as greedy (as opposed to honest) as possible on the part of
the software industry?
