They won't pay anything unless they are forced to do so. Basic capitalism brings to externalise costs to society

Perhaps, but can you explain how an alternative to capitalism wouldn’t result in people no paying for a service they don’t have to pay for?

People in more communally oriented societies pay for things they "don't have to" pay for because there's a social obligation.

In an alternative system you can get a salary from the government to work on open source software, and the companies pay for that in taxes. Of course you must embargo Malta, Netherlands and all the other countries that thrive on grabbing taxes from other countries.
