I think you missed the main point.  Not everyone would be QUALIFIED to
receive the free software - just registered software developers who have
paid a small fee to the "central organization" AND passed their entrance
requirements (just like defense contractors).  And of course the head of
that gov't department would be an intelligent, "career" bureaucrat just
like the ones managing public transportation, military procurement, and
the IRS.  The neat part about all this is that we would all get paid the
same no matter what the worth as long as the software was acceptable by
the bureaucrat.  And the public would pay and pay whether they wanted
the stuff or not - isn't that a novel idea?  After all, who is better
qualified to purchase and distribute software than the gov't?
