If there is no government, there is no need for free software.  There is 
just chaos.  Customers will spend more money on shit, they will pay more 
taxes.  If you make an inefficient product and can push it: it will have 
more turnover, and more happy investors, and more happy 
disabled/pensioned people that live from tax money (and do not need your 
product).

... and do not need your product....

And then there was something like http://freegeek.org

I wanted to create that in Belgium, but I'm to close family with some of 
these investors "we lost so much money with L&H you can't give software 
away for free; we're still in Microsoft".
