Comparing developers with academics is more apt. Mathematicians and other scientists don't charge usage fees for their theorems or discoveries. Yes, you can pay the author for a book but you can reuse and modify ideas and concepts at will. Job security is quite relevant in academia: most discoveries in the last 100 years were [in]directly funded by government and researchers were usually not working under time or financial pressure. |
