All this flamage about the copyleft reminds me of a rather ordinary piece
of American thinking:  the proprietary right to own property (as in real
estate), and to charge what the market will bear.  And, in fact, to keep
the government's nose out of it.  For two generations now, at least,
the common wisdom has been that you can't lose buying real estate; it
always goes up, never down.

This anarchic way of thinking has led to economic disaster for the New
England region, at the very least, and perhaps for the rest of the nation.

For those who think the FSF is some sort of a batch of left-wing anarchists
attempting to pull the supports out from under the software industry, I
submit that the real goal is to turn this kind of proprietary perspective
on its ear, and prevent the kind of disaster the real estate industry is
now experiencing.

If you give people the freedom to be greedy, greedy they will be.  And
that is the road to economic ruin and pain for everyone.
