Free Software Users == dupes
but who gaines ?

How about the following scenario :

Company X is a real big company with a lot of computers and programmers,
and pay themselves blue on licenses of all kinds. Mr M.Anager has a briliant
idea : he starts a 'no cost software' initiative. Many people in many countries
help develop the finest software around for free, and Mr M.Anager can use
this inside his billion dollar company, for free. Of course he donates
a few thousand dollars (perhaps even a million over time) if he makes
too much profit, and gets most of it promptly back (tax reduction).
