No, not all of them, but some companies, many organizations, and plenty of individuals would.

Not everything has to be done for a profit. Plenty of us make software, art, and technology because we find it fun and interesting to work on, and because we want to live in a world that is richer for it.

Removing draconian intellectual property laws that mostly only benefit the giant corporations that lobbied for them isn't going to stop me from doing so, and I doubt it would stop many others.

Ok, but copyright law already doesn't stop anyone from putting things into the public domain.

[4chandaily]

No, but it does give them an incentive not to.

You probably mean you want to take free advantage of what others create, and you offer nothing in return.

But maybe you will pleasantly surprise us and show what kind of valuable thing you create and offer for free.

I only mean what I said. Anything else you infer is your own bias.

I don't know why you are taking such a hostile position towards someone you have never interacted with, but you are welcome to believe what you will. I don't feel any need to prove or justify my actions to Internet strangers. I've participated in the FL/OSS software movement long enough that I still put the FL/ in front of the name.

I don't sell my thoughts, they are freely given. If everyone behaved this way, there would be no need for copyright (or copyleft). I choose to engage the world in the way I wish it to be.
