Earlier you said “people contribute without any monetary incentives”, and now you are admitting that they do need monetary incentives because there is no UBI.
> Did you miss the parts where I mentioned that private individuals and corporations can also fund their own software, as we do today?
You aren’t being honest.
Today we’re allowed to fund our own software and use it as we please for private purposes or to license it to others. Today there is no law forcing us to give it away.
> where people contribute without any monetary incentives.
First of all you added in the word ‘monetary’, to straw-man the position.
Secondly, even if we run with your straw-man, I see little evidence this is true. Most successful projects are either corporately funded or begging for corporate funding. You see article after article here bemoaning the lack of funding for open source.
What do you mean they aren’t paying their fair share? You just said they bought the rights.
Also it seems like you are saying we should just pre-judge cases without using the courts. Basically just end the rule of law. Not sure that’s a good plan.
Not necessarily. There are health disadvantages that come from being taller, and also from having higher caloric intake. It could be that we’re adapted to less food, and when we have more we get both taller and less healthy on average.
