The point is that you do not see Doctors saying that payed medical services are evil. Charitable services play an important role but they are no substitute for for-profit corporations. May be we could learn something from the medical community. Fundamental research in biology is conducted in an open-source fashion. Drug development is by for-profit corporations. By the same logic, open-source software community should be tackling more fundamental challenges in computing. Somehow I don't thnk the charter for open source development should be to build clones of commercial products.
