 destroying the market for the fruits of your labor destroys your 
 livelihood.  
 
Yeah; pity how all those OS/GPL people, like Red Hat, are starving   
and going under...   
 
Programmers with innovative ideas that solve problems or create new   
opportunities for application, and have the ability to execute them well,   
will always be able to sell them, if that's their wish. [Assuming the M$   
hegemony is broken.] The semi-competent may not, or not so readily.   
But then, there's nothing in the laws of man or nature that guarantees   
anyone the capability of earning personal gain in whatever way they   
might prefer, regardless of how much you may wish there were.
