> systems of free enterprise allow people to build whatever charity they want, whatever church they want, whatever business they want, build a worker's cooperative if they want, or create an open source platform
Kind of off-topic, but it's something that bothers me ...
Some free software activists should also be reminded of this, since their agenda is getting rid of proprietary software which is considered to be immoral / unethical. Some open-source projects or companies having a business on top of open-source are perpetually harassed for their choices, some of which are viewed to be in the detriment of free software.
