Why not? Bitcoin is centered around open source software. Should satoshi have charged people to use bitcoin? Not everything has to have capitalistic motives as well, though if theymos wanted to make more money surely he would have planned to charge people to use the software?
Lets be honest, Satoshi probably did have some capitalistic motives when he put out the white-paper. He imagined it could be a future payment network and put himself in a position that if it did take off, he'd be well seated.
Notice my reply was directed at the quote by "hilariousandco" which stated that he thinks that possibly in the future businesses who require these massive sites for their support infrastructure will turn to open source software. I was merely stating that isn't likely to be the case because no open source software is ever going to come close to what a licensed software can do.
We will see, wont we?
I for one am very much looking forward to breaking the hell out of the formatting side of things. And hopefully we will finally get tables that don't have to be ghetto modded to do anything useful.
