I surely gonna be blamed for saying this, however what can be noted here=
,  =

is that a [political] movement which is always shouting at commercial  =

companies is at the same time always expecting funds from them. How can =
 =

you one be serious expecting the end of something while organizing a  =

dependency on this thing? Also, and that's not a surprise, nothing is  =

expected from =E2=80=9Cordinary users=E2=80=9D, who do benefit as much f=
rom  =

unsupported/unpaid jobs as commercial companies do.

People should stop believing in miracles and magic formulas and become  =

responsible (all the people, not just the commercial companies as a well=
  =

know political movement suggest).

There is nothing one can get for strictly nothing (for a little fee may =
be  =

practical, but not for strictly nothing), even with software (which is n=
ot  =

just a matter of copying files as a well known movement wants to make  =

people believe). I hope someone will be able to bring back basic economi=
c  =

principles in this area some day in the future.
