Side note: This is why I feel Stallman is more of a visionary and would have much more lasting impact than Jobs had (character flaws of both people not withstanding). Jobs stole and kept market dominance to keep the loot for himself. In medieval time, Jobs would be a raider. Stallman empowered the people and let them have fruits of their own labor.

The analogy doesn't work well. Sure Steve Jobs and Apple shareholders got rich, but everyone that bought a Mac, or iPhone, or iPad was able to benefit from the innovations they brought.

As far as I know, a raider doesn't share or enable others.
