Is giving away knowledge for free good?
The spirit of open source has been distributed in uncountable subforms and interpretations and the "all for free intentions" of the web community have without a doubt contributed greatly to people's ability to access and work with digital media. However, not everything should be free - people have to eat and it's also nice for a family father to take his kids to the movies from time to time. If everything is free, how can twe earn our living?
