By accident? Hardly. I DO know how to read...

Except that the truth value of the proposition before the *and* is not neces-

People write software that WILL DO for others because it's free and has
source availability. Not necessarily great.

Market? With FREE software? Please, explain what the 'market' has to do with
free software? It's creators are not affected by the market, they make what

Or do you mean that consumers start demanding companies to write free software?
