Open Source softwares are not an antithesis to capitalism, it's just a voluntary cooperation, which is compatible with capitalism.

That's like saying vegetable soup is compatible with capitalism. It doesn't make any sense. Capitalism isn't just private property, but also trading for profit, in the free market, which really isn't compatible with free software, unless you're Bill Gates where money doesn't matter and you can play philanthropist.

Capitalism is like a religion saying "try joining us or die" whereas an RBE is more like "don't join us and don't die".

Vegetable soup is compatible with capitalism, you can sell it in restaurants..

Free software can be used to build non-free software.

RBE is like saying: "join us or go to the gulag"





So you believe that when a 3-year old says "mine", it really means it like an adult would, rather than "hey, I'm playing with that now; await your turn!"?

I like to play with my property until i die. I would certainly not feel comfortable if somebody stole my laptop or cellphone and watch all my private photos on it, and start sending prank SMS or emails to my contact list.

It would be very weird wouldn't it?
